FALCON GAUGE Magnetic...
FALCON GAUGE Magnetic Compasses are non certified 2" compasses available in liquid (MCDN) and non-liquid (dry) types (MCVC). The Liquid Type compasses provide an accurate reading at a low cost. They are fluid damped and incorporate a thermal expansion chamber and compensating magnet. Available in Panel or Pedestal Mount versions with or without lighting. Different models available: MCDN-2, MCDS-2, MCDN-2L, MCDS-2L. They can be ordered for Northern or Southern Hemisphere.
These compasses are very similar to the Airpath C2300 & C2400 style compasses, but are priced more economically.
The FALCON GAUGE Vertical Card Compasses are of a non-liquid type. They are designed with a different concept which eliminates the disadvantages experienced with a liquid compass, namely leaking and back and forth motion of the compass card. These compasses look like directional gyros and offer superior visibility. A second vertical rotating dial, which is compared with a fixed miniature airplane (lubber line), presents the magnetic heading of the aircraft at all times making heading information more natural. The easy to read presentation allows the pilot to see the complete 360 degree dial. They also feature an internal LED light and a universal mounting bracket.
