As far as acceleration error, I'm actually perfectly aware of that-- it's prob'ly one of the big reasons why the DG is the primary heading reference and the magnetic compass is used only to reset the DG . Which leads me to my second question : would an aperiodic compass be less susceptible to acceleration error because of its heavier damping, or does it not make a significant difference ? talk ) 00 : 49, 6 May 2010 ( UTC)
