mmmmmm, chilling out you need to be, youngskywalker.
Nothing in Oxford's first post suggested he had an instrument rating. He asked if we could tell his heading using 'our systems' - true/magnetic/compass/whatever is irrelevant, just wanted to know if we could tell him his heading so that he could take vectors using a suspect compass. The origional replies were made using assumtions of the pilots knowledge taken from the naivety of the query. Once Oxford clarified the question a more appropriate reply was given. I trust, youngskywalker, that you show a little more equanimity on the R/T?
