Narrative:
We were climbing out of 8;000 ft when we lost the first officer's pfd. He was the pilot flying so I took over the controls. Shortly after I took over flying I lost the IAS; flight director and heading. We asked ATC if we could level off at 8;000. We informed ATC that we were having flight instrument issues and we unable to fly the heading we were issued. Also the standby compass was unreliable as it was swinging 30 to 40 degrees. We asked ATC for vectors and informed them we needed to return to the airport for landing. We were never able to determine the correct heading of the airplane. We were given our choose of a runway and determined 27 was the closest so we landed on 27 without further incident. If the weather had not been VMC we could of had some bigger issues.
