Larry: I was replying to Dan H's post re: magnetometers as alternate, and should have made that clear. The comment "(dry)" was with respect to the "whiskey" qualifier in the subject line, and "wet" referred to the dampening agent used in the typical "whiskey" compass.
What I said was what I was taught many decades ago, not an inference. If you know otherwise, so be it. I have no intention to get into a pi--ing contest with anyone over this or anything else. I am not the FAA. And yes, I know there are other types of compasses which do not use liquid dampeners... but that was not Dan's point, as I understand it. He could very well be correct - or not. Who knows what the FAA will approve tomorrow? George --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
