  Chapter 8: Flight Instruments › Instrument Check › Heading Indicator

  attitude indicator corresponds to the relation of the aircraft to the real horizon. The operation of the heading indicator depends upon the principle of rigidity in space. The rotor turns in a vertical plane and fixed to the rotor ... instrument case and the aircraft revolve around the vertical axis of the gyro, the card provides clear and accurate heading information. Because of precession caused by friction, the heading indicator creeps or drifts from its set position. Among other factors…
