Didn't know the compass card was backwards! This completely helped me understand magnetic dip finally!

Just wow. You're the first YT channel I consult when I don't understand something. I'm currently undertaking ground school.

This video was simply amazing as in the detailed and not rushed explanation you broke everything down dissected it and put it back together lol that’s how I learn lol

Cool video, thanks, I'm not a pilot but i fly simulators mainly war related and a lot of the older planes i fly have the bigger compass in places that can be hard to see sometimes and this one is always in a more accessible place however i had no idea how to read it but thanks to you now i do, my brother in law and my brother are both real pilots but i was dreading calling and asking because i would have been on the phone till the coming of Christ listening to them so you spared me that, lol, subscribed.

I think the main problem i was having is how its reversed so i can see how that would throw off someone looking at it but now i understand, when i was learning propeller pitch a few years back i was having difficulty understanding until someone pointed out its just like a standard transmission, you have to start in first and work your way thru the taller gears, you cant start in 5th, lol but like this compass there is a catch, coarse pitch is actually your higher gears and fine pitch is your lower but coarse sounds strong and fine sounds soft but its actually backwards, ha ha ha

Why in here magnetic field lines are terminating at North pole while in usual case it begins at North
