Mid-Continent MD200-306 Attitude Indicator

Description

The Mid-Continent MD200-306 is a standby or primary attitude indicator designed for general-aviation aircraft where reliable pitch-and-bank reference is critical. Typical installations include Cessna, Piper, and Beechcraft singles and twins that require either a backup gyro or a primary flight instrument in the standard 3¼-inch panel cutout. This vacuum or electrical-driven instrument is common in IFR-equipped aircraft where attitude information must remain available during instrument approaches and low-visibility flight.

Before purchasing, verify your aircraft’s power-supply type (vacuum, electrical, or combination system), the specific vacuum/electrical requirements of your panel, and current instrument-condition limits set by your maintenance logs. The MD200-306 requires periodic overhaul per manufacturer and FAA guidance; confirm serviceability status and any outstanding airworthiness directives with your avionics shop. Proper installation and system testing are essential to ensure accurate gyro operation and safe flight operations.
