Strateandlevel ! ' The compass needle is pivoted North of the C of G to counteract dip.' !?!? Maybe I missed something but I thought the Cof G moved from underneath the pivot BECAUSE OF dip.

Deadhead.
Teach : OSUN so you can still turn on the compass without having to divide by 3.You'll find a lot of students struggle to subtract 250 from 030 when they have their hands full of aeroplane.

How much approximately to under/overshoot by depending on lattitude.

Stuff like sluggishness, swirl, momentum of the CofG to the outside of the turn is for expensive written exams only.
