Purchased the vertical card compass and it worked fine for 8 months, but returning home on a night flight last night it locked up and will not move in either direction. It was not bumped, dropped or jarred byond what would be expected as usual for an aircraft installation. I have requested a replacement, but uncertain what the warranty is. I gave 3 stars based on the assumption that they will replace quickley as it is required to fly! TSOd equipment should not fail within 1 year!

Seems to be working well. Really like the display. Makes it much easier to read in all conditions.

So far I love it. But when calibrating the compass card, I noticed very small movements, like under five degrees, the card doesnt move unless there is movement, like engine vibration. (Not a problem when the engine is running), but if your holding the compass very still and turn it, nothing happens in very small movements, like under five degrees, tap it on the side with your finger gently and it moves and points correctly. A none issue in a running plane Other than that, I really like it, I was so tired of struggling to see my compass numbers, this is super easy to see, and turns in the same direction of my directional gyro.

Sticky during turns. Freezes while turning then suddenly catches up after leveling off. I gave it 2 stars because it looks good and is easy to read but forget timed compass turns during IFR training. Wish I kept my whiskey compass.

Purchased and had installed by avionics vendor. Unit didnt last a year and froze up. Was nice while it lasted but short service life a major disappointment. Back to the reliable whiskey compass.

Works fine, easy install

Easy mount using the same mount as the whiskey compass. Wired for illumination. (Consider using quick disconnect fittings) internal magnets are much stronger than a whiskeycompass, so your plane may require shielding and/or balancing balls compensators. Easy to read.

Looks good, hopefully works good, hopefully last long time.

Compass worked fine for the first 2-3 weeks after installation, then it froze in the same heading. I couldnt adjust it and it stayed frozen after I removed it from the airplane. The vendor, Precision Aviation Inc., claimed there was nothing wrong with it and wanted a $165 fee to inspect it. The compass was under warranty. I protested and Aircraft Spruce sent me a replacement but the process left me without a compass for a month.

Compass failed in less than one week after install. Stuck at North. Doesnt move off of North no matter what direction the airplane is pointed. Returning for refund.

No Surprises. Very easy installation. Well worth the money.

Compass worked fine, but for heavy duty not suitable. Glass broke and fell out, North orientation was not possible. Bearings worn out after 2 years. The Indikation disk is very nice and readable, but we needed to remove it.

PAI is fantastic to work with. I bought a 182 with an aged PAI-700. The company overhauled it to like new and operated flawlessly. If youre considering buying one, the factory stands behind the product. Love mine, and would buy another one should the occasion arise.

Vertical compasses are the best way to go for GA. This one is one of the best. Would buy it again.

My plane had one of these installed already, but the glass was cracked and the paint was flaking. Not sure how old it was, but found the exact same part number still being sold. Purchased and owner-installed with A&P oversight. Instructions were very thorough and clear. Makes the whole cockpit look much cleaner. Operation is smooth and its nice that it swings in same direction as HI. Partial panel work is easier.

Excellent. Smooth. Reliable. Easy reference to Heading Indicator.

Worth every single penny. Much, much better than a standard wet compass.

Thank you for the great Customer Service. I called this order in right at 3pm, and it still got out the same day!! Plus the bracket was shipped from IL facility and the compass came from the GA facility! Awesome Customer Service!!!!

love the vertical card idea, but this compass has never stayed accurate, then it finally just died. off by at least 30 degrees.

Not installed yet but looks fine. Well packaged.

Excellent product. The Grumman Airplane attaching bracket that I also purchased, worked perfectly and so easy to install.

Such an improvement over the old whiskey compass. It is now actually a useful piece of equipment in the plane. In the 2 years I owned my plane, I had rarely ever looked at the ball compass, I use this all the time now for quick reference. Easy 10 minute install and alignment.

Works and looks well. Easy to set up compass card

Pretty simple install on the Cherokee I own...I like the vertical card style over the whiskey. The whiskey makes me feel like Iâ??m drinking and I need to think backwards. So far the vertical has proven to work well and has been very accurate. Setup took about 15 mins at an avionics shop that did the compass swing for me. Hopefully I have no issues with this compass down the road!

Great product, easy to read, doesnâ??t bounce all over the place ð?? very happy with it.

Aircraft Spruce is the only aircraft parts company ( OUT OF THE FOUR IVE USED IN THE PAST 30 DAYS) that has gotten an order correct as ordered on the initial order input. The customer service remains outstanding : pleasant, knowledgeable and efficient. thank you
