Attitude Gyro


1. A gyro-operated flight instrument that indicates the attitude of an aircraft or spacecraft with respect to a reference coordinate system throughout 360° of rotation about each axis of the craft.


This instrument is similar to the artificial horizon, but has greater angular indication.
2. Broadly, any gyro-operated instrument that indicates attitude.
