A remote reading compass uses a remote detector to determine the heading to be shown on the compass indicator on the pilot's instrument panel. The detector will be a Flux Detector/or flux gate and consists of a pendulous set of 4 coils aranged on a three leg "spider" One of the coils is the excitation coil supplied with 26V 400 HZ AC while the other three have an induced ac voltage from the excitation. Depending where they lie realative to the earth's magnetic field their output voltage will be either assisted or hindered and there will be an electric field created in the the three output wires which can drive an indicator to display the aircraft magnetic heading . These Indicators will be usually a HSI ( Horrizontal Situation Indicator) PNI ( Pictorial Navigation Indicator) or RMI (Radio Magnetic Indicator) Usually the output signal from the Flux detector is so small that an amplifier is needed to boost the signel to the Indicator. This system is usually GYRO STADILISED ( Directional Gyro) to make it display accurately in turns and to make it wander less. If it is not fitted with a gyro then the system is called a NON GYRO STABILISED REMOTE READING COMPASS system. It still workes but the display is more inclined to wander.

What is a lensatic compass?
Lensatic Compass is a kind of compass which uses a magnetized dial, a lensatic compass features a special card which helps the users in reading the directions easily. A Lensatic Compass is very useful device because it has numbers which are useful in identifying the directions of target objects. The use of Lensatic Compass involves difficulties in using it.It is important to learn how to use a lensatic compass properly prior to using it, also other materials like a map and a protractor are also needed when using the compass.

Compass with east and west reversed why?
Well, darling, a compass with east and west reversed is most likely just a faulty compass. It could be due to a manufacturing error or magnetic interference messing with its needle. Either way, it's not going to be very helpful in guiding you anywhere except maybe in circles.

What are the differences between direct reading and remote reading compasses?
Direct reading compasses have a visible card that indicates the direction directly on the compass itself, making it easy to read without needing to look at a separate device. Remote reading compasses, on the other hand, have the card located at a distance from the compass, allowing for better visibility and easier reading in certain applications like on larger vessels.

Can a magnetic compass reading change?
Yes, a magnetic compass reading can change due to fluctuations in the Earth's magnetic field, interference from nearby magnetic objects, or errors in calibration. It is important to regularly check and correct the compass reading for accurate navigation.
