Remote Indicating Compass And Flux Valve

Question 1

Remote indicating compass

Answer 1

~gyro magnetic compass
~flux valve compass
~slaved gyro compass
~magnetic heading reference system

Question 2

Adavantages

Answer 2

~long term accuracy of the cmpass
~short term rigidity of the gyro

Question 3

Components of the RIC

Answer 3

~magnetic detector
~heading indicator
~precession amplifier
~precession motor

Answer 4

The flux valve sends the signal to the stator(error detector).
Then the error signal (AC) is fedded to the amplifier error signal .then it converts to dc and gives a direction to the precession motor to rotate the horizontal gyro

Answer 5

Slaving is the term describing the re alignment of the gyro to the earth magnetic field

To provide a slaving ,facility the orientation of the earth magnetic relative to the a/c has to be detected

Answer 6

Flux valve ususlaly mounted in tthe wing tip
~the flux valve does not suffer from the same magnitude orf errors as the DRMC
~deviation is compensated fort thefore there is no need for a correcttion card

Question 7

Flux valve

Answer 7

3 horns
120 degrees apart
Ferro magnetic material
Maximum saturation point

Answer 8

Exciter wil produce a amgnetic field and the earth magnetic field will saturate the waves ,whcih is fed toerror detector with nul seeker,which then amplified and directed to the precession motor to turn the gyro,doing so it will turn the error detector as well ,elimitaing the error ,so the its align with the north magnetic

Question 9

Rapid slaving

Answer 9

Fast 60 degrees/min

Slow 30 degree/min

Question 10

Errors RIC

Answer 10

Turning
Accelration
Deviation
