This gyro is a variation of the popular 5000B air-driven attitude gyro. It includes a warning flag that drops into view upon the loss of vacuum. This can be a life saving feature during an emergency in a busy cockpit. The horizon mask moves to indicate climb, dive, and bank attitudes, which are portrayed against a fixed airplane. The fluid movements and intuitive presentation provide the pilot with a realistic sense of the aircraft’s attitude in relation to the natural horizon.
This instrument is FAA certified, and can be used to replace the aircraft’s turn coordinator when equipped with an inclinometer. This configuration includes a "Warning Flag" that is visible immediately upon Loss of vacuum or pressure. It is a very valuable upgrade as a safety feature. NOTE: Lighted instruments do not include lamp trays, please see accessories to order separately. |
