This Aerospace Standard covers two basic types of temperature instruments as follows: TYPE I: Ratiometer type, actuated by changes in electrical resistance of a temperature sensing electrical resistance element; the resistance changes being obtained by temperature changes of the temperature sensing resistance element. TYPE II: Millivoltmeter type, operated and actuated by varying E.M.F. output of a thermocouple; the varying E.M.F. input to the instrument being obtained by temperature changes of the temperature sensing thermocouple.
This Aerospace Standard covers Flight Directors for use on aircraft to indicate to the pilot, by visual means, the correct control application for the operation of an aircraft in accordance with a pre-selected flight plan.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers three basic types of true mass flow indicating instruments. Each may consist of an indicator, transmitter and other auxiliary means such as a power supply or amplifier as required.
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.
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.
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 AS defines components in "Capacitance Sensor" and "Non-Capacitance Sensor" type Fuel and Oil Quantity Indicating Systems. "Non-Capacitance" systems may employ any measurement technique current in the art including, but not restricted to, float, ultra-sonic and fiber optic devices. The definition of the individual components contained herein is related to the specified Total Installed System accuracy of the entire Fuel or Oil Quantity Indicating System which is a part of the airframe manufacturer's type certification approval data. This data shall be available from the subject airframe manufacturer as published in the operating manual for the aircraft type, model number and configuration. The Fuel or Oil Quantity Indicating System may incorporate optimum compensation based upon measurement of dielectric constant, temperature or density to correct for variations in fuel or oil characteristics due to temperature grade variations or additives.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) establishes the minimum requirements for design and qualification of equipment identified as Gyroscopically Stabilized Magnetic Direction Instruments.
