This recommended practice covers the requirements for gyroscopically stabilized Directional Indicating Systems, which will operate as a 1°/hour latitude corrected, free directional gyro or as a slaved gyro, magnetic compass with 1/2° accuracy.
These recommendations cover the mechanical and electrical installation and installation test procedures for automatic pilots of the type normally used in transport type aircraft. The material in this ARP does not supercede any airworthiness requirement in the Civil Air Regulations.
This Aerospace Standard covers two types of compensated altimeters which indicate, by visual means, the pressure altitude compensated for the static pressure system errors of the aircraft.
The exhaust gas temperature instruments covered by this standard are of the electrical servo null balance type, actuated by a varying emf output of one or more parallel connected Chromel-Alumel thermocouples.
This Aerospace Standard covers four basic types of direct reading pressure actuated rate of climb (vertical speed) indicators as follows: Type I - Range 0-2000 feet per minute climb and descent Type II - Range 0-3000 feet per minute climb and descent Type III - Range 0-4000 feet per minute climb and descent Type IV - Range 0-6000 feet per minute climb and descent
This specification covers that gyroscopic instrument normally defined as a "subminiature rate gyro." The rate gyro, when subjected to an angular rate about its input axis, provides an AC output voltage proportional to the angular rate. The subminiature size category generally includes gyro instruments of one (1) inch diameter or less and three and one-half (3 1/2) inches length or less. This specification defines the requirements for a subminiature spring-restrained, single-degree-of-freedom rate gyro for aircraft, missile, and spacecraft applications.
This ARP covers an electro-mechanical pneumatic device which is calibrated to provide control contacts that can be made to operate a warning device whenever the indicated airspeed (IAS) reaches a maximum value as defined by the operating limit speed curve for the specific model aircraft.
This standard provides minimum performance criteria for air data instruments intended to provide cockpit indication of: a Indicated airspeed (Vi) b Computer airspeed (Vc) c True airspeed (Vt) d Equivalent airspeed (Ve) e Mach number (M) f Altitude (H) g Vertical speed (Hpr) h Maximum operating limit speed (Vmo) i True angle of attack (αt) j Free air temperature (Tfat) k Total temperature (Tt) These functions shall be derived from a central air data computer (AS 417) and through system wiring applied to the respective indicator.
All automatic altitude reporting digitizer equipment manufactured under this standard shall comply with the requirements as specified up to its maximum range as indicated on the equipment nameplate.
This Aerospace Standard covers two basic types of pitch and roll indicating instruments as follows: Type I: Direct coupled to gyro Type II: Electrical repeating
This recommended practice establishes objectives for high performance control motor tachometer generators to be used with aeronautical and associated equipment in protective enclosures or completely within the shell of the aircraft so that they are subjected only to the internal climatic conditions of heat, cold, shock, vibration, and humidity. Control motor tachometer generators larger than size 23 are not covered in this document.
This Aerospace Standard, (AS), specifies minimum performance standards for _____________ (Instrument or instrument systems) which are primarily intended for use with (vehicles capable of flight), ((fixed wing, rotary wing) aircraft)), (other special modifiers); (and whose purpose is to display _____________ information).
This SAE Aerospace Recommended Practice (ARP) provides performance criteria for Altitude Alerting Devices and Systems. These devices can be self-contained or receive remote altitude information and can have integral or remote barometric corrections. Only the generation of the alerting signals is covered by this recommended practice and not the details of the visual or audio alerts operated by these signals. It is recommended that the system’s operational correspondence between the selected altitude settings of the Altitude Alerting Device and the Altitude Level Indication normally used to control the aircraft should not exceed ±250 ft RSS throughout the operating range of the device.
This Aeronautical Recommended Practice covers two types of two unit Pressure Ratio Instruments each of which consist of a Transducer and an Indicator. The Transducer computes the ratio of two pressures and converts this ratio to a synchro electrical signal which is transmitted to the Indicator.
