We had some DAR's in this area (about 10 years ago) start making a big stink about needing​ one... frustrated completed aircraft that would not pass AW -- friends just went to the auto place and picked up a stick on digital one and got AWC.... (then tossed it I think).
With all the glass panels - I think most DAR's now are so confused of what they can and cannot do - they just say "good" if it is one of the big brand names... I know some people DIY panels - and I am certain they are scrutinized a bit more from a safety perspective.

I had a magnetometer with the D10a installed in 357CJ and it was completely accurate but at no time did I think that legally I could have removed the panel mounted compass.

I just finished it yesterday and will be installing back on the airplane today. After this, it's on to taxi test...I posted a video with the update on Rand Robinson's Facebook page.
