Basic Principles Flashcards
The wind resistance acting on the front of an aircraft is?
Dynamic Pressure
Position Error is, and will cause eronious readings in which instruments?
Any error with in the pitot static system causing incorrect readings in the pitot static instruments
Postition Error is broken into two sub catagories which are?
- Configuration error
- Manoeurvre Error
The definition of configuration error is, and will still affect with instruments?
A known error that is resolved during flight trsting and is caused by the configuration of the aircraft genrally by:
- Flap settings
- Undercarriage position
- Angle of Attack
What is the definition of manoeuvre error?
Manoeuvre error is caused by rolling, pitching or yawing of the aircraft aswell as random gusts of wind.
What is a strap down system for measuring acceleration?
The strap down system is an accelerometer that is mounted always level and aligned to north. Measuring acceleration relative to that path.
INS will navigate between a sequence of waypoints flying…
shortest, great circle tracks.
