>had to have a mechanical wet magnetic compass (with correction card)

Get this: when my Pietenpol Air Camper had its annual condition inspection some 
years ago, and this was the first time I had taken it to this A&P for the 
inspection, one of the squawks that he wrote up was "No compass correction card 
noted.  Install."  My compass had the little slide-in window for the correction 
card, but nothing in it.  First time that had come up since the plane got its 
airworthiness inspection years before.  My A&P handed me a piece of card stock 
with the compass correction/deviation matrix printed on it along with a pair of 
scissors, and watched as I trimmed it to size and slipped it in.  He signed the 
plane off, saying the regs just say it needs to have the card, not that any 
correction needs to be entered on it.
