Gyroscope: DGCA Air Navigation questions
Three instruments run on spinning wheels: the attitude indicator, the directional gyro and the turn indicator. The paper asks which gyro property, how many degrees of freedom and which spin axis each one uses.
The 80 questions here also cover attitude indicator errors after timed turns, needle and ball readings, directional gyro drift and rate 1 bank angles from true airspeed. Exam sessions have used 29 of these gyro items.
Keep the counts straight: the turn indicator's rate gyro has one degree of freedom, the other two have two. Read the ball as the balance check: out to the low wing is a slip, out to the high wing a skid. For a given rate of turn, bank depends on true airspeed, not on mass.
