illustration is 5.0 degrees per
second.
Maximum turn rate for digital
yaw is > 10.0 degrees per second.
Dimensions for screen cutout are
shown below, see Figure 1.
Unit dimensions are 2.35” square
with a thickness of 0.75”, not
including connector height.
Screen display mode is transmis-
sive, normally deep black. This

The Belite RADIANT RTCC is de-
signed to show simultaneous turn
(yaw) and bank (roll) information.
Yaw information is derived from a
solid state gyroscope. Roll informa-
tion is derived from a solid state
accelerometer.
All of this information is presented
digitally and graphically on a single
vivid LCD screen. The instrument fits
in a standard 2.25” enclosure.
This instrument will automatically
stabilize and provide the pilot with
information regardless of initial
position, acceleration, or attitude.
