#OSH11: Belite introduces digital turn coordinator

By Janice Wood · July 26, 2011 ·

Belite Aircraft introduced a digital turn coordinator instrument today at AirVenture.

The instrument, offered in a standard 2.25″ round bezel for $199.95, “implements a solid state gyro-based turn rate indicator and bubble inclinometer in one small, extremely lightweight design,” said James Wiebe, president and CEO of Belite Enterprises.

In addition, Belite has re-introduced all instruments with a black design. “Now Belite instruments fit extremely well with a typical aircraft panel,” Wiebe said.

The turn rate indicator includes new, automatically calibrated technology, so that it does not have to be re-centered each time it is turned on, he said, adding power consumption has also been reduced.
