Introducing SafeTurn Plus: Radiant Technology’s Enhanced Backup Instrument for General Aviation
Radiant Technology has unveiled SafeTurn Plus, a superior portable backup instrument specifically designed for general aviation and experimental aircraft pilots. The announcement was made on February 13, 2026.
The innovative SafeTurn Plus is an upgrade on Radiant’s original SafeTurn turn coordinator, incorporating three crucial flight instruments:
- Altitude
- Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI)
- Above Ground Level (AGL) display
This battery-backed device combines all these features into a single, portable unit, serving as a reliable emergency backup for pilots when primary instruments fail.
With a daylight-readable display and the ability to operate independently of ship power, SafeTurn Plus is an ideal choice for VFR pilots in need of trustworthy backup instrumentation. It holds particular value for experimental aircraft builders and light-sport aircraft operators seeking affordable, non-TSO backup instruments.
“We are in the business of offering innovative aircraft instruments for experimental aircraft flying, and backup instruments for general aviation,” states Radiant Technology’s website.
The device is now available through Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co., Radiant’s primary distributor.
Radiant Technology emphasizes that SafeTurn Plus is a portable advisory instrument and is not TSO-certified. This makes it suitable for use in experimental, ultralight, and light sport aircraft under VFR conditions.
