Where is the Lifesaver® built?
The Lifesaver® gyro is completely manufactured in the United States by Mid-Continent Instrument Company. Mid-Continent Instruments has served the general aviation public for more than 45 years from its home in Wichita, KS; and has served for 20 years from its facility in Van Nuys, CA.

Which OEM's use the Lifesaver®?
OEMs that offer the Lifesaver® as original equipment include Piper Aircraft Co., Mooney Aircraft, Diamond Aircraft and Raytheon Beechcraft. OEMs that offer versions among the 4300 Series Electric Attitude Indicator family are Lancair, Robinson Helicopter Co., and Adam Aircraft.

Why is it called the Lifesaver®?
Mid-Continent Instruments chose to name this innovative product the Lifesaver® because even if every other system in an aircraft's avionics panel goes dark, this product continues to provide important, lifesaving data to the pilot. The Lifesaver® is the only attitude indicator to offer a self-contained battery backup and provides one hour of emergency attitude reference.
