Required to provide a wind direction and velocity read out.
A-INST2-PT01.A.pdf | 176. IRS is a self-contained system because:
The system calculates the position of the aircraft without reference to externally generated (man-made) signals.
A-INST2-PT01.A.pdf | 177. During the initial alignment of an inertial navigation system (INS) the equipment:
Will not accept a 10° error in initial latitude but will accept a 10° error in initial longitude.
A-INST2-PT01.A.pdf | 178. A message or data downlink means:
A transmission of signals from an aircraft in flight to a station on the Earth.

Airline Operational and Air Traffic Communications (AOC & ATC).
A-INST2-PT01.A.pdf | 180. Comparing the media used to transmit datalink communications, the appropriate classification from the slowest to the fastest data transmission rate is:
HF datalink, VHF datalink, SATCOM.
A-INST2-PT01.A.pdf | 181. What is the purpose of an onboard ATSU?
Manages the data link information exchange between the aircraft and the Air Traffic.
