The same thing happens in actual circling flight, when the plane is banked but the compass
is tilted so that it will remain parallel to the horizon (the bank angle is visible on the special
scale which appears on top of the mirror image. Fig. 4).
Fig. 4: circling with 45
°
bank
Other bank angles cause additional displacement
of the inclination circle, as shown on Fig. 5, 6 and 7
(for bank sitting 0).
Inclination circle
Slight displacement
towards South is due
to higher angle of
incidence (less pitch)
Horizon
If the pilot increases forward pitch, i.e. flies faster, the entire circle described be the red mark
will be displaced towards “North” (fig. 5).
