Gary Watson Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Chosen at random from a 10,000 question data base, answers posted 24 hrs later. A gaseous sensor/responder tube fire sensor is tested by: a. Checking the sensor with pressurized gas b. Heating up the sensor with test power connection c. Checking the continuity of the system with test switch d. Checking the wiring harness for faults but not the sensor Choose the most correct answer. 2. A pilot wishes to turn left on to a northerly heading with 10° bank at a latitude of 50° North. Using a direct reading compass, in order to achieve this he must stop the turn on an approximate heading of: a.330 degrees b.355 degrees c.015 degrees d.030 degrees Choose the most correct answer. At what Longitude? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it is not, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), the aircraft obtains a difference or deviation. The inertial navigation system uses deviation to generate corrective commands to drive the aircraft from a position where it is to a position where it isn't. Arriving at the position where it wasn't, it now is. Consequently, the position where it wasn't is now the position where it is, and it follows that the position where it was is now not the position where it isn't. In the event that the position where it is now is not the position where it wasn't, the system has acquired a variation. Variations are external factors and are beyond the scope of this discussion In simple terms, the variation is the difference between where the aircraft is and where it isn't. If variation is considered a significant factor, it may be corrected by the use of the Doppler system, however for this to work, the aircraft must also know where it was. The "thought process" of the system is as follows: Because a variation has modified some of the information, which the aircraft has obtained, it is not sure where it is. However, it is sure where it isn't (within reason...) and it knows where it was. It now subtracts where it should be from where it wasn't (or vice versa...) and by differentiating this from the algebraic difference between it's deviation and it's variation (which is called error), it computes the correct information to compensate for all factors, thus supplying accurate navigation information. In even simpler terms, the aircraft calculates the difference between where it is, where it was, at least two places where it isn't, and where it should be to determine the path to get where it wants to be.
