reduce the amount of deviation caused by aircraft magnetism and electrical circuits
facilitate easy maintenance of the unit and increase its exposure to the Earth's magnetic field
place it in a position where there is no electrical wiring to cause deviation errors
place it where it will not be subjected to electrical or magnetic interference from the aircraft

requires less maintenance
is able to magnify the earth's magnetic field in order to attain greater accuracy
