Artificial Horizon (Turning & Acceleration Errors)
Abstract:
"The artificial horizon experiences the following errors:
1.Turning errors
2.Acceleration errors
3.Real wander of the gyroscope's spin axis away from its alignment with the earth vertical.
Turning and acceleration errors in the artificial horizon gyroscope are caused by lateral acceleration in turns and by the aircraft's acceleration and deceleration forces that induce a false position indication of the gyroscope's vertical axis.
Note: Remember, the artificial horizon is an earth gyroscope with its spin axis in the earth vertical."
I would like to know what it means by lateral acceleration in turns? further into that explanation what/why does these acceleration turns induce a false position indication of the gyroscope's vertical axis?
Thanks
