This Standard covers air data equipment (hereinafter designated the instrument) which when connected to sources of aircraft electrical power, static pressure, total pressure and outside air temperature (singly or in combination) provides some or all of the following computed air data output signals: Pressure Altitude* Total Temperature* Pressure Altitude (Reporting) Altitude Rate Baro-Corrected Pressure Altitude* Overspeed Warning Vertical Speed* Altitude Hold Computed Airspeed* Airspeed Hold Mach Number* Mach Hold Maximum Allowable Airspeed* qc (impact pressure) Static Air Temperature (*when used as an alternate for total temperature) True Airspeed Others
This standard covers three basic types of total-temperature-measuring instruments used as a means of determining the total temperature developed by adiabatic heating of the air due to motion of the aircraft through the air.
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 SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers automatic pilots intended for use on aircraft to automatically operate the primary and trim aerodynamic controls to maintain stable flight and/or to provide maneuvering about any of the three axes through servo control. Automatic control functions essential for primary or augmented flight control are excluded.
This SAE Aerospace Standard (AS) covers one type of maximum-allowable-airspeed instrument which gives a continuous indication of both indicated airspeed and maximum allowable airspeed not exceeding 650 knots.
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 document establishes the minimum requirements for design and qualification of equipment identified as Gyroscopically Stabilized Non-Magnetic Direction Instruments.
This AIR is concerned only with aspects directly relating to available accuracy. While well-designed photoelectric, inductive or capacitive readers and pressure regulators, and other accessories are highly desirable for convenience and production rate, they are considered to be outside the scope of this AIR.

In efforts to increase the accuracy and reliability of altimetry, speed measurement and other aspects of air data, a great deal of attention and money have been expended on new and refined pressure transducing and computing systems and on the standards by which they are calibrated. So much progress has been made in this that the limiting factor is, or may soon be, the sensing and transmitting in the aircraft of the pressures to be transduced. Until the appearance of References 1-13 and 18 there was little guidance available on the maintenance of pitot and static systems. This report presents what information is available, suggests limits, and lists the principal original papers on the subject.

This Standard covers Bank and Pitch Instruments which measure and display the angular displacement of bank and pitch from a gyroscopic vertical reference. This reference may be pneumatically or electrically driven and be contained within the instrument display case or located remotely. Unless otherwise specified, whenever the term "Instrument" is used, it is to be understood to be the complete system of gyro component, any auxiliary equipment and display.
