Radio-Magnetic Compass Indicator

A Radio-Magnetic Compass Indicator is a type of equipment used in airborne radio navigation systems. It falls under the supply class Radio Navigation Equipment, Airborne, which is part of the supply group Communication, Detection, And Coherent Radiation Equipment.

The Radio-Magnetic Compass Indicator is designed to provide accurate and reliable heading information to pilots during flight. It combines radio signals from ground-based navigation aids, such as VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) stations, with magnetic compass information to determine the aircraft's heading.

The indicator typically consists of a display unit that shows the aircraft's heading in degrees, along with additional information such as course deviation and distance to the selected navigation aid. It may also include controls for selecting different navigation sources and adjusting the display settings.

The Radio-Magnetic Compass Indicator is an essential component of the aircraft's navigation system, providing the pilot with crucial information for navigation and maintaining the desired course. It helps ensure safe and accurate flight operations, especially during instrument flight and in areas where visual references may be limited.

Please note that the specific features and capabilities of Radio-Magnetic Compass Indicators may vary depending on the manufacturer and model.
