Navigation Systems<br />

Inertial Reference System:<br />

In ATT mode, the IRU provides the following data:<br />

Pitch angle<br />

Roll angle<br />

Pitch rate<br />

Roll rate<br />

Body pitch rate<br />

Body roll rate<br />

Body yaw rate<br />

Body longitudinal acceleration<br />

Body lateral acceleration<br />

Body normal acceleration<br />

Vertical acceleration<br />

Inertial vertical speed (requires pressure altitude input from ADC)<br />

Inertial altitude (requires pressure altitude input from ADC)<br />

Platform heading (requires pilot inputs)<br />

In NAV mode, the IRU provides the same data as in ATT mode, plus:<br />

Magnetic* and true heading<br />

Magnetic* and true track (valid when groundspeed is above 80 kt)<br />

Track rate<br />

Drift angle<br />

Flight path angle (valid when groundspeed is above 80 kt)<br />

Flight path acceleration<br />

Along track horizontal acceleration<br />

Cross track horizontal acceleration<br />

East-west velocity<br />

North-south velocity<br />

Groundspeed<br />

Present latitude-longitude position<br />

Wind direction and wind speed (requires TAS input from ADC)<br />

* Each IRU uses the computed present position and a global database to<br />

determine the local magnetic variation.<br />
