MID-CONTINENT INSTRUMENTS AND AVIONICS
DESCRIPTION
| Advanced circuitry and improved design allow this directional gyro to withstand high vibration and require less than half the power of standard DGs. Lightweight (1.8 lbs.) and reliable, it utilizes long-life LEDs for a crisp, legible backlit display. With 10–32 volt DC input, it will work in any aircraft. Exceptional RTCA DO-160E HIRF immunity makes this an ideal replacement for heavy, older AIM and RC Allen units. |
- Custom versions available to match existing instrument/EFIS displays
-
Optional self-contained battery backup (Provides up to one hour of emergency attitude reference in the event of aircraft power failure)
- Built-in annunciation
- Internal emergency lighting
- Single connector installation for primary and optional standby battery models
- Exceptional value - 7,500 hrs. MTBF, more than double the life of most electric gyros
- Perfect for use as a primary or standby artificial horizon in fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters
- 10-32 volt DC replacement for use in either 14 or 28 volt aircraft
- Anti-reflective glass enhances visibility and reduces fatigue
- Field replaceable lighting
- Approved to FAA TS)-C4c
- One-year limited liability
