Inertial Navigation System. To operate a typical system, power is applied and the INS is activated. As the gyro's spin up and the platform is aligned with the aircraft's attitude, a keyboard is used to advise the system of the aircraft's present position, normally in terms of latitude and longitude, and magnetic variation. 5, record 1, English, - magnetic%20variation

Système de navigation à inertie. Pour faire fonctionner un système typique, il faut le mettre sous tension et activer l'INS [Inertial Navigation System]. À mesure que le gyro tourne et que la plate-forme s'aligne avec l'assiette de l'aéronef, on utilise un clavier pour indiquer au système la position actuelle de l'aéronef normalement en termes de latitude et de longitude et avec la déclinaison magnétique. 3, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9clinaison%20magn%C3%A9tique
