Product Description

The 52c72 is a directional gyro (heading indicator) that displays stabilized aircraft heading on the flight instrument panel. This gyroscopic instrument reduces magnetic compass errors by maintaining a fixed heading reference independent of aircraft attitude and maneuvers. The directional gyro precesses slowly over time and requires periodic realignment to the magnetic compass.

Approved under FAA TSO-C5 series standards, it's essential for instrument flight and navigation on general aviation and commercial aircraft. Typically mounted in the standard six-pack instrument arrangement.

Please note: Product descriptions are provided for informational purposes. Always refer to your aircraft's Illustrated Parts Catalog (IPC) to verify part compatibility and specifications.
