| The Gyro Compass or Heading Indicator shows the right heading,
also when the plane is making a steep turn. (The wet- or whiskey compass has
a significant 'undershoot' or 'overshoot' when the plane is turning, the
Northern
Rotation Fault.) Before take off the gyro compass has to be aligned with the whiskey compass and during the flight it has to be checked for drift while flying in a straight line. For more information about gyroscopic instruments. |

| Our instrument uses a stepper motor to show the
heading and a second motor to adjust the autopilot heading bug. Drift and
auto pilot heading can be adjusted withturn knobs (optional).
The Gyro Compass is available as stand alone instrument and as master instrument. In both cases an Interface Box is needed (see General concept). The instrument is illuminated by (2) leds (optional), switched by the flight simulator. |
