When is the annunciator of a remote indicating compass system used?
For synchronising the magnetic and gyro compass elements For synchronising the magnetic and gyro compass elements
What is the difference between gyro and directional gyro?
The term Gyro refers to any Gyroscope (Space,Earth,Tied or Rate) whereas Directional Gyro is typically a Tied Gyro which is used in Aircraft for the purpose of Heading reference in DGI (Directional Gyro indicator) because it does not suffer any errors like magnetic compass.
Will titanium effect a magnetic compass?
Yes, it is commonly known as magnetic deviation
How does a gyromagnetic compass work?
when airplanes suddenly change course the corrective mechanism is a gyroscope, which has the property of resisting efforts to change its axis of spin. This system is called a gyro-magnetic compass.
What are different words that involve magnets?
Electromagnet Superconducting magnet Ferromagnetic Magnetic needle Magnetic compass magnetic field. Hydro magnet Gyro magnet
How many types of compasses are there?
There are two main types: Magnetic compasses and gyro compasses.
Can you buy a magnetic gyro wheel at Toys R Us?

What is the different between a magnetic and gyro compass?
A magnetic compass uses the poles of our planet to stay in alignment. A Gyroscopic compass is set to a particular direction and tends to try to stay that way. After time, even the best Gyro will start to precess (move). This means the you will need to compare your Gyro to the magnetic every 15 minutes or so. Some modern gyroscopic compasses are capable of auto resetting to do this update automatically
How does the north seeking gyro work?
North seeking gyro is the best gyroscopic surveying instrument for the mining and Oil & Gas industries. As it is a North-Seeking Gyro, all measurements are in reference to geographic North. Unlike other downhole survey or magnetic tools, it is not affected by magnetic interference. When it comes to directional surveying where precision and accuracy are of paramount importance, especially in areas with strong magnetic influences, true North-seeking gyro while drilling is the only solution. It can run inside casing without worrying about the magnetic influences causing deviations and errors.SPT true North-seeking gyro while drilling uses quartz technology, more rugged and highly precise in operation.
What is the angular difference between true North and magnetic North is called?
That's the "magnetic declination". Since the true north pole and the magnetic north pole are located at different points on the earth, the declination is a different angle in different places on earth.

What does a magnetic compass do?
It uses a magnetic needle to point to the earth's magnetic North Pole. The only other type of compass used is a gyro-compass. This uses a wheel which rotates parallel with the earth's rotation.
