CPL skills test with Compass only
Hello,
Just done the CPL skills test this morning and was in for a shock when I noticed on taxi that the DGI was broke. I informed the examiner of this and they then questioned me if it was still possible to fly. I was not 100% but I told them yes as we still had the compass and so off we went. I must admit it was a bit unusual at first as I kept looking to the DGI. My question is, does the examiner give a bit of leeway with no DGI or do they expect the same standards with the compass only as they do with the DGI. I did pass the exam but still curious to find out.
