Icing conditions and TAT correlation
icing conditions exist when the OAT (on the ground) or the TAT (inf light) is at ir below 10 degrees and visible moisture in any form is pressent
Directional Gyro errors occuring with regards to wander
Random/Real Wander:
change of direction in space of the rotor’s spin axis due to manufacturing imperfections
apparent wander
due to earth’s rotation
-> initially perfectly alligned with a meridian but over time meridian moves away
Transport Wander
apparent wander due to the change of aircraft position

automatic landing system
fail passive
fail operational
an automatic landing system is fail passive, in the event of a failure there is no significant out of trim condition
what to do if the auto pilot system becomes fail passive?
above 1000ftAGL -> revised minima
between: go around / full manual
below Alert height -> continue
an automatic landing system is fail operational if in the event of a failure, the approach, flare and landing can be complet by the ramining part of the automatic system (= fail safe)

Guidance Modes Autopilot
Basic Modes
stabilizing the ac around its CG. Basic stability funciton of the autopilot are provided by the inner loops.
Guidance Functions

incorrect entry of
latitude
longitude
into the IRS
which one is more critical?
Latitude: can be computed by the system and compared to the one entered by the pilot -> it does not align at all because it doesnt work with the wrong input or it senses the wrong input (?)
longitude: can not be calculated. So the system relies 100% on the entry of the pilot -> but is still aligns
