Eclipse-Pioneer "Polar Path" new low drift, high accuracy directional gyro proved itself extremely useful for polar navigation during first trans-Arctic flight of Scandinavian Airlines System from California to Copenhagen and during second flight to Oslo; gyro may be expected to show random drift rates of one degree per hour, or less, compared to rates of five to eight degrees per hour for conventional panel gyros.
