BARC TOP HAT RITEWAY COMPASS

BARC "Top Hat" RiteWay Compass

Ultra light and Experimental Aircraft correct turn sense magnetic compass. This unique magnetic compass is built upside down and backwards! But by viewing it through a 45 degree turning mirror the vertical image of the compass card exhibits the correct turning sense. The compass rose image presented to the pilot rotates "with the turn" like a Directional Gyro instead of "opposite the turn" of the typical magnetic compass. Sun light illumination is used to back light the compass card. This provides and easy to read display at all brightness levels.
