Radiant SafeTurn Portable Turn Coordinator
MFR Model# RI-2025-4-ST
Overview
**NOT FAA APPROVED - FOR USE IN EXPERIMENTAL AIRCRAFT ONLY**Meet the new SafeTurn Turn Coordinator: Smoother, Sharper, Smarter SafeTurn is a self-contained, battery-powered electronic turn coordinator that gives pilots a smooth, daylight-readable turn-rate cue and slip/skid ball in any cockpit. It’s not GPS-synthesized. SafeTurn uses a true solid-state gyro, tuned for aircraft dynamics, with on-demand dimming for night ops. The latest production run adds smoother motion, clearer graphics, a more informative battery indicator, and a variable gyro filter so pilots can choose a snappier or a more damped feel. |
Features
- Brilliant daylight-readable display with crisp aircraft cue and slip/skid ball
- Smoother turn-rate & ball rendering (reduced jitter “jump” artifacts)
- Refined graphics for faster scan
- Variable gyro filter (pilot-selectable response: snappy ↔ damped)
- Better battery indicator (steadier, more accurate state-of-charge)
- Fast, clean startup
- Improved temperature handling for steadier in-flight indications
- Manual, on-demand dimming for extended runtime and night use
- True electronic gyro (not GPS-derived)
- Slip/skid ball plus digital turn-rate readout
- Portable, self-contained—no panel wiring required
Specifications
- Sensing: solid-state MEMS gyro; slip/skid ball visualization
- Indications: turn-rate cue; digital turn rate; slip/skid ball
- Update rate: tuned for smooth motion with variable filter option
- Display: high-contrast, daylight-readable LCD/graphic module
- Controls: front-panel pushbutton(s); long/short press actions; manual brightness control
- Power: internal rechargeable battery (USB charge)
- Runtime: up to ~5 hours per charge (typical); longer when dimmed
- Operating temp: typical GA cockpit range
- Dimensions/weight: compact portable form factor (fits Radiant “holster”)
- Mounting (optional): SafeTurn Holster accessory fits a 3-1/8″ instrument hole (no electrical connection); provides a secure parking/mount point in the panel
- Note: SafeTurn is a portable advisory instrument and is not TSO’d.

Reviews
Love this product as an additional advisory instrument in the cockpit. My plane has a G5 for primary attitude and turn information and a backup attitude indicator, but no backup turn indication. Safeturn is a great option to enhance situational awareness both with all instruments operating and in partial panel situations. My only quibble is that the ball indicator moves further for the same slip/skid than other such indicators.
