4.2 Control head installation
Mounting procedure
The control unit slots into a permanently mounted socket sited in the
cockpit. It contains a gimballed fluxgate compass and therefore has
some restrictions on mounting position.
The control unit should be sited
• where it can be operated easily from the steering position.
• at least 80 cm (2.5 ft) away from the main steering compass to
avoid deviation of both compasses
• as far away from other magnetic or iron devices as practical (to
avoid compass deviation)
