单词 acceleration error
释义

acceleration error


acceleration error

An error caused by the deflection of the vertical reference due to any change in acceleration of the aircraft.

acceleration error


acceleration error

[ak‚sel·ə′rā·shən ‚er·ər] (navigation) That error resulting from change in a craft's velocity vector: specifically, either the deviation of an aircraft magnetic compass caused by the action of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field on the compass magnets when the compass card is thrown off level by accelerations of the aircraft; or the deflection of the apparent vertical, as indicated by an artificial horizon, due to acceleration.

acceleration error

acceleration errori. An error in magnetic compasses caused by acceleration forces acting on the dip-compensating weight when an aircraft is flying in an east-west direction. In the Northern Hemisphere, when the aircraft accelerates in an east-west direction the compass indicates the aircraft is turning north; it indicates south when decelerating on these headings. The error occurs because the magnet is being pivoted and the point of the pivot and the center of gravity are not coinciding. The errors are in the opposite direction if the compass is correctly decompensated for operations in the Southern Hemisphere.
Aircraft accelerates from 180 knots to 210 knots when on course of 090°. The magnetic compass, however, shows as if aircraft has turned from 090 to 120°. Similarly, when aircraft decelerates from 180 knots to 160 knots in a straight and level flight, the compass shows a turn to the left—in this case to 060°. In both cases, compass comes back to the original course as soon as the acceleration/deceleration has stopped.
Note: These changes are for the Northern Hemisphere. The changes will be reversed if the aircraft is operating in the Southern Hemisphere and if the compass has been correctly dip-compensated for the Southern Hemisphere.
ii. An error in a bubble sextant caused by mechanical inertia during changes in an aircraft's velocity.
