I thought pilotage was what you did in a crosswind landing.

Ed-
I still do pilotage, I just use the moving map on the GPS instead of a paper chart!

Oh that pilotage.
Yeah, I have an app for that.

Not a problem with a pivoting windshield mount. I set the compass to be level with the ground, do the check, then set it back to flight level.

Seems legit

David,
That is just like the clock that does not run, it is right twice a day!

Lol. That's what I had after moving the compass to the upper windshield, except that the radio had no effect. I had to move the overhead speaker to the left wing root to make the compass work.
