Use for accident investigation
ELT and CVR
This difference between true and magnetic north is called
Variation
It compares the actual attitude of the aircraft and the commanded attitude
and then controls it
Inner loop

IRU (Inertial Reference Unit)
How many minutes can we align IRU (Inertial Reference Unit)?
10 mins
A Vertical speed indicator uses what pressure
Static Pressure
Actual ambient air temp
SAT (Static Air Temperature)
When can you erase the complete recording of CVR.
Aircraft is on the ground and the parking brake is set

course ILS approach?
MODE 5: Below Glide Slope
Alert callouts when a/c descends predefined altitude, decision height

(Ionsphere - where HF is bounced)
Dynamic Pressure (q) ram pressure can be calculated by measuring
differential pressure:
q = Ptot − Ps
