Serge It is my understanding that it will work fine as the magnetic attraction will be to the South Pole, but the indications will be reversed: your North indication will be to the SOUTH POLE, so as long as you know that is what you are seeing, then no confusion. All the quirks of the compass, ie: lead and lag reverse in the Southern Hemisphere. You might get really good at math conversions when given headings by approach control, cause you will always be 180 degrees out.

As usual with me, it's a Microsoft Powerpoint file. I'm not a draughtsman by any account, so precision not garanteed. But it's free, so anyone interested, just shoot. (And by the way, could anyone tell me if that compass is going to work well in the Southern Hemisphere, although it is a Northern Hemisphere P/N?)
