Subject field(s)
  • Flight Instruments and Equipment (Aeroindustry)
DEF

A device that measures the angular direction of the airflow relative to the longitudinal vertical plane of the aircraft; this may be accomplished by a balanced vane or by a differential pressure sensor that aligns the detector to the airflow, and in so doing transmits the measured angle between the normal axis and the detector as the yaw angle.

OBS

yaw angle indicator: term officially approved by the Aeronautical Terminology Standardization Committee (ATSC) - Helicopters.

CONT

Maintain the dop and the tang in the correct positions: ... e) polish the facet: check the angle and the indexing of the tang: readjust the angle indicator, if required ...

OBS

... equipment/supplies used by fancy shape specialists: ... gg) tangs, including: for the crown: - indexed quickstep tang, including the following components (see Figure F4): frame; sub-frame; adjusting legs; claw holder; spirit level (adjustable); angle adjuster; index adjuster (cheater); index wheel; dop assembly; height adjuster; angle gauge; - Goren crown tang (see Figure F 7) ...

OBS

When faceting, the size of the angles must be kept constant. This is done with calibers (gauges) or with measuring equipment which has been directly mounted on the dops, or with a graduated scale fixed on the American dops ... There are also magnetical calibers which adheres to the dops.

OBS

Part of a tang.

OBS

[La mesure des angles] se fait soit à l'aide de calibres, soit avec les instruments réglage montés directement sur les dops de construction récente ou avec les échelles graduées fixées sur les dops américains. Il existe aussi des calibres aimantés qu'on place sur les dops.
