I’m in need of a good whiskey compass - present installed one is leaking. Email me: otw34349c@gmail.com

"Standby"?

If it's not the "magnetic direction indicator" required by part 91.205(b)(3), you can get a repair kit from Aircraft Spruce for $13.50 and fix the leak yourself. Otherwise the repair must be carried out by an certified Instrument Repair Station.

[Edit] That might still be a better bet than used.

My IA had a repair kit so I’m legal and flying again - However, I’d still like a vertical card compass when one comes available

Here's a TSO'd example on sale

Cheaper non-TSO'd units available but don't know how that works on our birds-

Just let me know if or when a good vertical card compass is available and I’ll be in contact

Dick,

Have you checked on Ebay? There are a few listed.

Is this for the Cessna 140 or 195 you have?

Mike

I’m very reluctant to buy any aircraft parts on eBay one, because it’s like a crap shoot, and the compass is an item on the basic instrument list as a requirement for any flight. I have one in our 120 but want one for the 195; meanwhile the kit repair is working.

I have one for sale. Sent you a PM
