Heading Indicator (Air Driven)
As one of the earliest to roll out flight instruments to the market in China, Baocheng has been proudly manufacturing quality heading indicator for years. The heading indicator, often shortened to HI, actually goes by many names such as gyrocompass, direction indicator, directional gyro, and more.
GD031 (side)Despite that it's been called a lot of names, this gyro instrument in its most basic form comes with an easy-to-read dial with a symbolic plane on the instrument glass to facilitate pilots reading the direction the plane is heading. The use of heading reference system allows the reference mark to align with the true direction the plane is traveling. Additionally, the air driven heading indicator is available with a locking feature to ensure maximum reliability in navigation.
