Hi to all!
Very happry to find a forum whereby all pilots gather... First of all, I am vincent from Singapore, currently serving in Singapore Air Force as a pilot trainee.
Ok, I have got some questions pertaining to Aircraft instruments. I am pretty confused with some flight instrument, namely DI, AI and most importantly, the Gyromagnetic Compass System! I am totally confused over this topic, I tried to find the answers online, but useless... Can someone here explain what's the use of this compass system, the modes(SLAVED, FREE) and the components. And I am also confused over this gyro thingy...
Would appreciate if someone here can advise and will be great if there's any websites that I can refer to ...
thanks
Vincent
