The heading indicator (HI) uses the principle of rigidity in space for it’s operation. The gyro is mounted such that it registers changes around the vertical axis only; i.e. direction changes. The compass card attached to the gyro appears to the pilot as though it is turning. In reality, it and the attached gyro are remaining rigid in space, while the aircraft and case turn about the gyro. The HI is not automatically synchronized with the magnetic compass. It must be set to the compass heading while level on the airport surface prior to take-off. 13, record 3, English, - directional%20gyroscope

Le conservateur de cap, également appelé directionnel, est un gyroscope libre dont l'axe est orienté horizontalement selon la direction qui lui a été assignée lors de sa mise en rotation. Cette orientation sera prise pour référence horizontale. En choisissant le nord magnétique comme référence, cet appareil indiquera le cap magnétique de l'avion. Il faudra le «caler» avant chaque vol lorsque l'avion est aligné sur la piste (piste dont on connaît l'orientation). 10, record 3, French, - conservateur%20de%20cap

Le conservateur de cap, ou gyroscope directionnel, est l'un des trois instruments à gyroscope. Aligné avec le compas, il donne une indication précise et stable concernant le cap magnétique de l'appareil. Le conservateur de cap constitue une aide importante car le compas est sujet à des erreurs causées par l'accélération, la décélération et la courbure du champ magnétique terrestre, particulièrement sous les hautes latitudes. Il arrive fréquemment que le compas oscille; il est particulièrement difficile à lire dans les turbulences ou pendant les manœuvres. Fonctionnement. Le gyroscope du conservateur de cap pivote dans un plan vertical. Une carte comportant des caps maintient son orientation lorsque l'avion tourne. Le mouvement apparent de la carte donne au pilote une indication précise et instantanée du cap de l'avion et de la direction dans laquelle il tourne. La carte est marquée de 5 degrés en 5 degrés, avec une indication chiffrée tous les 30 degrés et les points cardinaux repérés par N, S, E, O. 11, record 3, French, - conservateur%20de%20cap

Angular rate gyro accuracy is characterized by two parameters: scale factor and drift. The scale factor describes the capability of the gyro to accurately sense angular velocity at different angular rates ... Gyro drift characterizes the ability of the gyro to reference all rate measurements to the nominal zero point. It appears as an additive term on the gyro output, so any actual drift away from a given or predetermined value will cause the angular errors to accumulate. 3, record 6, English, - gyro%20drift

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.

The Swedish mining compass is probably the earliest magnetic prospecting instrument, consisting essentially of a light needle in jewel and stirrup suspension, free to move in a horizontal and vertical direction. The case is carried over the ground by three cords tied together above the instrument. To compensate for the vertical component of the earth's field, a small piece of wax may be attached to the south end of the needle. 2, record 11, English, - Swedish%20mining%20compass

The two instruments that provide this visual display are a horizontal situation indicator (HSI) and an attitude director indicator (ADI).

Le compas, qui est quant à lui soumis à l'accélération ou à la décélération, aux dénivellations et autres erreurs de navigation, oscille souvent ou a un tour d'avance ou de retard.

The HSI, or Horizontal Navigation Indicator or Pictorial Navigation Indicator, is perhaps one of the most useful although misunderstood instruments around... it combines your directional gyro and Nav indicator into one instrument that reduces pilot workload by providing heading, course reference, course deviation and glide slope information all in one visual aid... You may also consider a slaved HSI. Slaving automatically compensates for gyro heading errors and keeps your HSI in agreement with your compass. It uses a magnetic flux sensor mounted in the wing or tail of your aircraft to sense changes in magnetic heading and sends corrective signals to your HSI. 2, record 36, English, - directional%20heading

DI-direction indicator. A gyro instrument which indicates the magnetic heading of an aircraft. The DI, also known as the directional gyro(DG), is free of the turning errors associated with magnetic compasses but is prone to precession(wander) and must be reset against the magnetic compass at intervals. 3, record 37, English, - reset

Aligning the Heading Indicator. On small aircraft like the Cessna 182RG, the pilot sets the heading indicator to coincide with the compass before takeoff and resets it periodically during flight to make sure that it remains in sync with the compass. The heading indicator drifts because it’s based on a gyro, which precesses with time. 2, record 37, English, - reset

"Set" and "reset" express the same reality except for the time aspect and are not real synonyms. However, because of the necessity to periodically and continuously "reset" the gyros, one could say that the pilot "resets" the instruments in flight as well as he "sets" or "resets" them before take-off, referring to the last in-flight setting operation. "Reset" would be more appropriate for in-flight setting operation. 4, record 37, English, - reset

Gyroscopic precession. The reaction of a gyro when a force is applied to the spinning wheel. When force is applied to a gyro, the device reacts as if the force had been applied at a point 90 degrees from the point of actual application, in the direction of rotation. Precession affects propellers, which act like gyros, and gyro instruments. Its principle effect is on the heading indicator, which tends to drift over time. 2, record 40, English, - precession%20re%2Dadjustment

Erreur de précession. Les forces de friction présentes dans le système gyroscopique engendrent la précession. Cette précession occasionne un «glissement» ou une «dérive» d'environ 3 degrés dans la lecture de l'instrument et ce, à toutes les 15 minutes. Le gyroscope est aussi sujet à la précession apparente. L'inertie gyroscopique garde le gyroscope fixe dans l'espace de sorte qu'il ne bouge pas par rapport à l'espace. Cependant, la terre qui tourne en dessous du gyroscope donne à ce dernier un mouvement apparent par rapport à la terre.
