One of the better explanations on the web or ANYWHERE!

This is the best way to teach anyone compass errors. Actual, live visuals. Not something a still-image in a book can do. I will refer to you in the future.

The best video that I have seen on this topic so far. I could do without the distracting music during the narration however. No type of music during any explanation videos is what makes the best videos.

Finally! This is a very good explanation! Thank you!

this is the best video training source among others, even better than my instructors

This channel is often linked in my online ground school comments to make better sense of the lesson when it's not understood. And I'm ok with that.

Thanks a lot! I had a headache trying to understand these errors.

Such a precious channel. The best of the best explanations I ever met. Very useful for the theory preparation. Thank you so much!❤

Very useful, thank you for the visuals. They give a better understanding of PPL Navigation.

This is a very good effort, but if I understand the concept, it's not quite right. A couple of people were as puzzled as I was when I first viewed it, and commented that the markings were incorrect. I don't think that is what is causing the confusion. I think the outer markings on the compass are correct, because the pilot is always looking at the back of the compass. Thus, when a pilot is heading east, the east marking is on the pilot's side (or west side) of the compass. However, the center of gravity marking on magnet within the compass is backwards. The south pole of the compass would be facing the north pole of the earth because opposites attract. Thus, the south pole of the compass would be experiencing the additional vertical force. That force would pull the magnet away from its natural pivot point and towards the earth's north pole. The pulling force also shifts the center of gravity to the North. Thus, it make sense that the inertia would be greater on the side of the compass magnet facing the earth's north pole (because it's heavier) when acceleration is applied.
