A gyroscope that uses the property of gyroscopic rigidity to sense changes in altitude of a machine, such as an airplane; the spinning wheel or rotor is isolated from the airplane by gimbals; when the plane changes from level flight, the gyro remains vertical and gives the pilot an artificial horizon reference.  8, record 1, English, - free%20gyro

A free (unrestrained and not subject to any outside force) gyroscope is fixed to space... This means the centerline of the axle points to two points of absolute rest, 180 degrees apart, to the Universe or in the up and down direction.  3, record 1, English, - free%20gyro

... in order to be free of gravity, gyroscopes can be placed in a Cardan mount, which permits the gyroscopes to remain free of forces exerted on the systems of which they are a part. In the Cardan mount the shaft of a gyroscope wheel is mounted in a gimbal ring, which in turn is mounted in a larger gimbal ring along a diameter that is at right angles to the axis of the wheel.  6, record 1, English, - free%20gyro

During a turn the nose of the aircraft is continually pitching up. Your pitch gyro will see this and attempt to stop it. This results in the nose dropping, and a decrease in altitude. Your pressure sensor will sense this loss of altitude and attempt to correct it. So, effectively, the gyro and pressure sensor will be working against each other(slightly) and the end result is that your plane will not hold the desired altitude, but one slightly lower than the desired altitude. This is especially true in the early portions of the turn.  2, record 2, English, - pitch%20gyro
