From: I know EXACTLY where I am..
South.

in the northern hemisphere, flying south by the whiskey compass will give you the most accurate heading, as the compass reacts to heading change faster, try watching your wet compass: on a N heading, you can turn quite a bit before the compass shifts.
I know a complete failure of all heading info is unlikely, but the whiskey compass is not there for decoration only..

regards.
