Gyro instruments Flashcards
Rigidity
maintainig direction in space regardless of whats moving around it
precession
the applied force to the gyro acts 90°
gyro instruments list
Attitude, Turn coordinator, heading indicator
The turn indicator shows rate of turn / bank angle
rate of turn
The gimbal axis of rate of turn is at 30° angle to procvide
rate of roll
Rigidity of gyro affected by
- Seed of rotation
- Rotor mass
Apparent drift
Rotation of the earth causes the HI to drift
The gyro in attitude indicator is on the ____ plane rotating around the ___ axis
Horizontal, vertical
Magnetic compass is aaffected by
acceleration and turning
When turning through north, when should you start stabilizing the plane
Before it reaches the heading. (For example, from 340 to 40, level the wings at 20)
When turning through south, when shoudl you start stabilizign the plane
After it reaches the heading. For example, from 200 to 140, at 120
from 160 to 230, at 250
UNOS
Undershoort north, overshoot south
