A two-gyro four-gimbal attitude sensing system providing continuous aximuth information as the aircraft turns on its roll axis while the near vertical flight, and for preventing tumble of platforms in gyro systems upon departure from near vertical flight, is described. The provision of continuous azimuth information allows recovery from vertical on a desired heading. The system is comprised of means for stabilizing an outer roll gimbal that is common to a vertical gyro and a directional gyro with respect to the aircraft platform which is being angularly displaced about an axis substantially parallel to the outer roll gyro axis, and means for producing a signal indicative of the magnitude of such displacement as an indication of aircraft heading. Means are provided to cause stabilization of the outer roll gimbal prior to entering vertical flight and destabilization of the outer roll gimbal when departing vertical flight.
