What aircraft used the Delco IV-A
Jan 12^th, 2008, 3:12pm

In the interest of historical accuracy, I'm trying to refrain from installing this great gauge in every aircraft in my simulator. Can somebody tell me what aircraft used this system? I'm guessing most of the jet airliners of the 70s vintage. So a DC-10 would be accurate but probably not a Cessna 152? What about any turboprops, Electra or Vanguard?

Others I flew that had it included the DC-10-10's and -30's and the Boeing 747-200's. I believe that the DC-8F's (freighters) also used the same INS. Regards, Quink

I do believe that, especially at those times, a single unit would cost more than a c152.
Plus, after getting them, you have also to maintain them, which is, again, not something very cheap.
That is why it was installed only on those planes which absolutely required it, for the routes they were flying.
