The free gyro ... can be converted to a directional reference by remounting its case with the spin axis horizontal and the indicator axis vertical. The indicator will then give the airplane's heading. Gyro drift is countered by slaving the instrument to the Earth's magnetic field, via either a separate magnetic compass or a flux valve device. 3, record 1, English, - slaving

Sur les petits appareils comme le Cessna 182RG, le pilote règle le conservateur de cap pour qu'il coïncide avec le compas avant le décollage, et le réajuste périodiquement pendant le vol pour être sûr qu'il reste synchronisé avec le compas. Le conservateur de cap dérive parce qu'il est basé sur un gyroscope, sujet avec le temps à la précession. En règle générale, le conservateur de cap ne doit pas dériver de plus de 3 degrés toutes les 15 minutes. Les appareils plus importants sont équipés de conservateurs de cap asservis qui maintiennent l'instrument correctement aligné avec le compas. 3, record 1, French, - asservissement
