Razor18 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 Hi Guys, anyone happens to know, what is the actual function of the two additional white marks left and right 30° from the heading reference line on the compass? I surmise it's not just for you to know where is 30° left and right... Right?... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razor18 Posted January 7, 2022 Author Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Ha ha... so you say no particular function or usage, just a simple geometry class for pilots who cant read the numbers on the gauge? Declassified german radio traffic over Schweinfurt: ....sssssst "Red 2, do you know how does 30 degrees look like?" "Two to lead, erm.. negative!" "Lead to Two, there are two white marks on the top of the compass, left and right from the heading reference mark. It's there for you to memorize it. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT look at the numbers on the compass !" "Roger, Wilco !" Edited January 7, 2022 by Razor18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rforce Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) Hi @Razor18 is in German, but is used for corrections at target approach, as I understand. https://www.deutscheluftwaffe.de/funktionsweise-fuehrertochterkompass-fl-23333-fl-23334 i think this works Edited January 7, 2022 by rforce AMD Ryzen 3900xt 32 Gb DDR 4 NVIDIA RTX 4070ti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

razo+r Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 (edited) I can access the link just fine. Btw, any help in a cockpit are highly welcome, even if its as simple as adding markers 30 degrees left/right on the compass.
