Compass Position
My compass is situated on top of the instrument shield and in the middle of the aircraft as is common on most types. It would suite us to reposition the compass directly in front of the P1 position which involves moving the compass a few inches to the left. The compass would then no longer be on the exact centre line. The immediate reaction from our engineer was that it probably wasnt a problem but then again might present difficulties during the compass swing checks. I think he also thought that all the installations he had seen were on the centre line so there must be some good reason for this. Any thoughts much appreciated. Reason for the move is it is the only suitable position for a GPS.
