Gyro Units & Vertical Gyros

Aircraft gyro units and vertical gyros are catalogued here by complete designation, execution and recorded role. The section includes gyro sensors, damping gyroscope blocks, vertical-reference units and other separately numbered assemblies. A shared prefix or comparable housing may indicate a product family, but it does not demonstrate identical interfaces or function.

Gyro sensors, damping blocks and vertical references

Examples in the catalogue include 458M Series 2 and 458MKS Series 2 gyro sensors, BDG-10-1 and BDG-252 damping blocks, and CGV-series vertical gyros. GA-series units are listed as their own positions. The series, variant and every suffix are part of the identification and should not be omitted from an enquiry.

System configuration determines the required execution

Selection may depend on the installed navigation, attitude or stabilisation system, connector arrangement, supply characteristics and aircraft documentation. Compare the unit label with the equipment list or maintenance record for the installation. Treat another gyro assembly as an alternative only when that relationship is expressly supported by approved data.

• record the complete gyro-unit designation;
• retain the series, variant and suffix;
• identify the installed system when known;
• provide connector and label photographs;
• state quantity and required traceability documents.
