When deciding the length to be provided, consideration should be given to providing an area long enough to contain overruns and undershoots resulting from a reasonably probable continuation of adverse operational factors on a precision approach runway, the ILS localizer is normally the first upstanding obstacle and the runway end safety area should extend up to this facility. 3, record 1, English, - ILS%20localizer

When the track bar is used in conjunction with a VOR [VHF omnidirectional radio range], a lean out of 10° to one or the other side from the signal causes a full deflection of the indicator. If the same pointer is used as an indicator of the ILS localizer, a full deflection will be induced by a 2, 5° diversion from the center of the localizer's beam. 4, record 1, English, - ILS%20localizer

La bille et l'indicateur de virage. Ces deux instruments sont souvent réunis sur un même cadran. L'indicateur de virage prend souvent la forme d'une aiguille. D'où l'appellation globale que l'on utilise parfois «la bille-aiguille». La bille : Elle renseigne le pilote sur la symétrie du vol. Son principe est basé sur les forces d'inertie que subit l'avion en virage. L'aiguille : Elle indique le sens et le taux du virage. Elle est associée à un gyroscope dont la référence est la verticale. [...] Lorsque l'aiguille s'incline à droite, l'avion est en virage à droite (idem à gauche) [...] l'aiguille indique un taux de virage en degré par seconde [...] un virage de 360° s'effectuera en deux minutes. 2, record 4, French, - aiguille

L'horizon artificiel [...] est essentiellement constitué par un gyroscope tournant à vitesse élevée dont la principale caractéristique est la fixité dans l'espace. Il reste fixe tandis que le boîtier solidaire du tableau de bord se déplace avec l'avion. [...] La maquette qui représente l'avion (ailes et cône d'hélice) est solidaire du tableau de bord. Elle se déplace devant un tambour sur lequel figure une représentation de l'horizon naturel, de la terre (en noir) et du ciel (en bleu). Ce tambour gradué en degré permet de déterminer l'assiette. La couronne supérieure porte, de part et d'autre du repère origine, trois repères principaux à 30, 60 et 90° permettant de mesurer l'inclinaison. 5, record 12, French, - maquette

Le gyroscope de l'indicateur de virage est généralement fixé selon un angle de 30 degrés. Lorsque l'avion vire, la force centrifuge entraîne la précession du gyroscope. L'importance de la précession fait s'incliner vers la gauche ou vers la droite un avion miniature situé sur le cadran de l'instrument. Plus le virage est rapide, plus la précession est forte, d'où une inclinaison plus importante de l'avion miniature. 6, record 12, French, - maquette

Lorsqu'on lève le nez de l'avion, l'avion stylisé [de l'horizon artificiel] monte au-dessus de la barre d'horizon pour indiquer une assiette nez haut. Lorsqu'on baisse le nez de l'avion, l'avion stylisé cale sous l'horizon pour indiquer une assiette nez bas. Lorsque l'avion s'incline, l'avion stylisé s'incline par rapport à la barre d'horizon et l'aiguille indique le nombre de degrés d'inclinaison sur l'échelle graduée. [...] Lorsqu'il est verrouillé, le gyroscope est immobilisé de telle façon que l'avion-symbole affiche le vol en palier. 4, record 12, French, - maquette

One of the first physical realizations that encompassed the concepts of learning without a teacher and developed by Ashby as an example of an ultrastable system. It contains four identical interconnected units each with a magnetically deflected pointer or indicator on top and an appropriate sensing mechanism to determine the relative position of the pointer; its goal is to maintain the essential variables within acceptable limits, a task accomplished by changing the system parameters when one or more of the variables are exceeded, until the value of the essential variables is within acceptable limits. 1, record 13, English, - homeostat
