VHF direction finding(VDF) equipment is installed at a number of FSSs [flight service stations] and airport control towers. VDF normally operates on six pre-selected frequencies in the 115 to 144 MHz [megahertz] range, which are listed in the CFS [Canada Flight Supplement] entry for aerodromes where the equipment is installed. Information displayed to the VDF operator(either an airport controller or a flight service specialist) on a numerical readout gives a visual indication of the bearing of an aircraft from the VDF site. 1, record 2, English, - VHF%20direction%20finding%20equipment

L'équipement de radiogoniométrie VHF (VDF) est installé à un certain nombre de FSS [stations d'information de vol] et de tours de contrôle. Cet équipement fonctionne généralement sur six fréquences présélectionnées dans la bande comprise entre 115 et 144 MHz [mégahertz], lesquelles sont énumérées dans le CFS [Supplément de vol - Canada] pour les aérodromes où l'équipement est installé. L'information transmise à l'opérateur du VDF (soit un contrôleur d'aéroport, soit un spécialiste de l'information de vol), sous forme numérique, donne une indication visuelle du relèvement d'un aéronef depuis l'emplacement du VDF. 1, record 2, French, - %C3%A9quipement%20de%20radiogoniom%C3%A9trie%20VHF

Une centrale moderne d'attitude et de cap [...] ressemble beaucoup à une centrale inertielle de navigation qui ne fournirait que les assiettes et le cap, et dont les gyroscopes et les accéléromètres seraient de performances modestes : 1 à 10 degrés par heure pour les gyroscopes et quelques millièmes de la pesanteur pour les accéléromètres. La centrale d'attitude et de cap peut être à cardans ou à composants liés [...] et utiliser des gyroscopes mécaniques ou des gyrolasers. 1, record 3, French, - centrale%20d%27attitude%20et%20de%20cap%20%C3%A0%20cardans
