- Used in conjunction with FDU-70 Flux Detector Unit, and either CCU-65 Control & Compensator Unit or RCP-65 Remote Compensation Unit
- Contains air-erected directional gyro and compass electronics
- Compass electronics combines the short-term directional information from the gyro with long-term heading information from the FDU-70 to obtain accurate heading information for use or display by electromechnical or electronic horizontal situation indicators (HSIs), radio magnetic indicators (RMIs), course indicators, and digital autopilots
- 28VDC aircraft input power
- Mounted on a surface perpendicular to aircraft yaw axis within 1 degree
- Version available that provides slaving meter drive signal and sends DG mode annunciation data on serial bus (-002 see table below)
