No-compass approach

A radar approach or vector provided to a pilot when the compass or directional indicator is malfunctioning. Instead of providing the pilot with headings to be flown, the controller observes the radar track and issues the control instructions "Turn right," "Turn left," or "Stop turn," as appropriate.

Note: Emergency no-compass homing service can be provided using a direction finder (DF).
