QotM
====

You're flying partial panel with an inoperative DG, and are setting up for
an approach while flying in an easterly direction. As you slow the
aircraft from cruise to approach speed, the magnetic compass indicates a
turn to the south. Are you actually turning, or is something else going
on?

Scenario
========

The immediate emergency is over - or is it? There's nothing to indicate
the problem persists and it would be far more convenient, even arguably
safer, to keep going. However, a recurrence of the fire later could be
much worse than dealing with options than you have right now.
