High performance
The Seagull Attitude Indicator is a high-performance, low power flight instrument intended for use in light recreational aircraft such as gliders, ULs and LSAs. The Seagull Attitude Indicator integrates an artificial horizon, a turn indicator and a slip indicator into a single light-weight 2 1/4” compatible unit.
Aerobatics with Seagull-05
Aerobatic Capabilities
The full 360 degree triaxial freedom offered by the MEMS sensors, enables correct display of aircraft attitude regardless of aircraft orientation. During knife-edge manoeuvers the artificial horizon will correctly reflect aircraft orientation. Zenith and nadir markers indicate the direction of a vertical heading (straight up or down) i.e. the markers will appear while performing a vertical loop allowing the pilot to fine-tune the manoeuver.
Reliable
To ensure rapid real-time performance and device stability, the Seagull electronics is implemented as a compact, embedded multi-processor system. Adhering to the JPL rules for flight software “JPL Institutional Coding Standard for the C Programming Language” ensures the robustness of all on-board software.
Ease of Operation
The Seagull Attitude Indicator powers up rapidly when activated. Settling of the gyro-sensors occurs within 3 sec. after power-up. Due to inherent drift the gyro-sensors are continuously calibrated during steady flight (no angular velocities or linear accelerations present).
