Radiant SafeGyro Mini Glass Directional Instrument
Overview
**NOT FAA APPROVED - FOR USE IN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ONLY**A portable Mini Glass directional instrument that's not just another gyro. It is a new way to present directional information. SafeGyro (patent pending) is a new Mini Glass inertial directional instrument for experimental and light aircraft, designed to give the pilot an immediate, intuitive sense of heading, turn behavior, and directional trend in a format that is fast to read, easy to use, and visually distinct from legacy portable gyro products. At the center of SafeGyro is a clean directional display with large heading digits, heading bug, compass tape, turn coordination, slip/skid indication, and Radiant’s distinctive motion-history map. The result is a product that does more than report numbers — it helps the pilot understand what the aircraft is doing. SafeGyro is battery-operated, USB-rechargeable, and designed for use as a portable or panel-mounted instrument. SafeGyro continues Radiant’s new Mini Glass line of instruments, designed as a compact, modern backup that feels like a bigger glass that doesn’t fight your panel space or your budget. Why SafeGyro is different?Most directional products imitate the past. SafeGyro is designed to feel like the future. It does not simply show heading, it shows heading behavior. Large digits, a clear tape, intuitive motion cues, and a unique on-screen history map work together to create a directional presentation that is both useful and immediately memorable. *Patent pending |

- Its small size and low weight make it easy to use as a portable directional reference in a wide range of experimental and light-aircraft applications.
A New Class of Directional Instrument
- At its core, SafeGyro is an inertial directional instrument that combines modern solid-state sensing, real-time drift management, learned-bias compensation, and a purpose-built visual interface to turn raw motion data into a stable, immediately understandable display.
- Inertial navigation is a self-contained navigation technique in which measurements provided by accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to track the position and orientation of an object relative to a known starting point, orientation, and velocity.
Benefits
- An optional external magnetometer version is also available for customers seeking enhanced heading performance during extended operation.
- Automobile Mode - SafeGyro also includes an automobile demonstration mode that makes the product easy to understand outside the cockpit. This mode presents directional and roll-related behavior in a way that is useful for demonstration, evaluation, and first-time product introduction.
