Magnetic compass compensating weight.
Asked by: connor 2786 views Aircraft Systems, Commercial Pilot, General Aviation, Instrument Rating, Private Pilot
Hello everyone,
This has been my life long issue, trying to find out where the compensating weight is located in the actual magnetic compass.
From the book, I understand due to the dip towards the pole, manufacturers place weights on south end where we read N on lubber line.
I tried my best to understand this topic but not sure exactly where this weight is located inside the instrument.
