Until N2 rpm is 54% or greater or the throttle is retarded below idle. |
|
Barometric altimeter |
Uses pitot static pressure to indicate altitude above sea level |
|
Radar altimeter |
Uses radio echos to determine altitude above ground level. |
|
Azimuth |
The angular position or bearing in a horizontal plane usually measured clockwise from true north |
|
Bearing |
Angular position of an object with respect to a reference point or line |
|
Range |
The distance of an object from an observer |
|
Heading |
Actual orientation of the aircraft's longitudinal axis at any instance. True heading is direction measured by true north |
|
Magnetic heading |
Uses the direction of the earth's magnetic field at that location as the reference. |
|
Relative heading |
Uses the current direction that the object is facing the 0/360 azimuth alignment |
|
VHF |
Very high frequency |
|
UHF |
Ultra high frequency |
|
TACAN |

|
INS |
Inertial navigation system. Self contained, fully automatic, dead reckoning navigation system. It detects motion and provides acceleration, velocity, present position, pitch, roll and true heading to related systems. |
|
GPS |
Global positioning system. Receives info from satellite. Pilot and aircraft systems are continuously updated present position, velocity and time information. |
|
ARI |
Attitude reference indicator. Uses gyro and provides a minimum three minutes of attitude info with loss of power. Provide backup pitch and roll attitude for use by other systems. |
|
ILS |
Instrument landing system. All weather approach guidance system. Provides steering info during approach by decoding azimuth and elevation microwave signals received from surface transmitters. Signals are displayed on the HUD and the ARI. |
|
ADC |
Air data computer. |
|
