Jim,

I believe that a magnetic compass is required. A GPS does not qualify. If
the EFIS uses a magnetic sensor it should qualify. A friend has an
automobile electronic compass (uses a battery) but senses the earth's
magnetic field and was passed by a DAR. The only US airplane I know that
does not have a magnetic compass is the shuttle orbiter.

From: James Sagerser <alaskajim(at)cox.net>
Does anyone know if a regular (whiskey) compass is required equipment if
your aircraft has an EFIS system like the Enigma?

Also. Can anyone recommend a free site to post pictures of our projects
besides "MySpace" (received 3 special solicitations in the first hour!).

Thanks in advance, Jim

Thanks to all that replied. Guess it's a trip to Walmart. Jim
