The scheme is based on the Humphrey pendulous magnetic flux valve detector type FD 09-0101-1, wound for 1 degree accuracy. The pendulous nature of the sensor avoids errors in measurement due to aircraft attitude within 20 degrees of the vertical, since only the horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field is sensed.
