INS precision

Recommended Posts

Hi!

 

Just a little question about INS precision when you don't do a full alignement (say you set INS to "nav" when reaching the first 4 precision step).

 

Is it just less precise, but you still can update position on route to get it perfect. Or, should you also get more drift while on route if less time aligning at first?

 

Thanks!

Class 1 alignment will give you a 1nm/hr drift rate. Class 4 will give you a 2nm/hr drift rate.

Know and use all the capabilities in your airplane. If you don't, sooner or later, some guy who does use them all will kick your ass.

Isn't it 4 nm/hours in class 4 ?

Zeus wrote it down somewhere exactly as I have written it here.

Ok thanks! So the higher the class the higher the drift respect to time. Pretty clear :)

 

Any way to improve alignment later? I tried the other alignment mode in flight (from memory it's the one before the "nav" position) and it seemed to do something.... Not sure what :p

Possible to realign on ground once RTB? Full INS reset necessary for this?

 

Thanks :)
