So.... From this one would assume that the magnometer that's within the AHARS covers this. I guess it's confusing because in the case of other training aircraft I've flown equipped with glass there is still a mag compass on the glare shield.
I'm going to call the FAA LSA hotline to figure out the specifics, and I'll let you guys know what they say. Thanks for all the input.
