Chapter 13: Attitude,Turn and Slip, and Accelerometer Systems

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

ATTITUDE, TURN AND SLIP, AND ACCELEROMETER SYSTEMS

1300. INTRODUCTION

As student aviators, it is necessary for you to become familiar with the T-34C attitude, turn and

slip, and accelerometer indicating systems. You must also become familiar with the location,

operation, and purpose of various components to be able to operate and interpret these systems

effectively. Understanding the operation and limitations of these systems is essential to safe

visual and instrument navigation.
