3. CAPABILITIES
The Sight Compass is a small, readily portable, convenient instrument which can be used to:
A. Determine the magnetic suitability of a Compass swinging area.
B. Check and layout Compass swinging bases.
C. Determine the magnetic heading of an Aircraft.
NOTE:
Since the Sight Compass is used extensively when a prepared base is not
available, operating personnel should be familiar with its three uses and with
the method of checking its accuracy.
4. ACCESSORIES PROVIDED
A. A monopod assembly, which is provided in assorted lengths. Combinations of lengths
may be chosen to support the Sight Compass at the operator’s eye level. Although the
Sight Compass can be hand held, experience has shown that the use of the monopod
provides more stable sightings.
NOTE:
All external parts of the Sight Compass, such as the mounting bracket and
monopod, have been selected to contain no materials which could affect the
magnetic accuracy of the Sight Compass. Any other support, such as a
camera tripod, must be carefully checked for the presence of any ferrous
materials before being used.
B. A case, which facilitates protecting and carrying the Sight Compass.
C. The reference laminated card described in page 1, paragraph 2.B.
