Transient stops.
NOTE
Action to be taken during a
transient stop depends upon time
available and on availability of
accurate
parking
coordinates
(latitude and longitude.)
(a)
Realignment
INS
operating
(recommended if sufficient time and accurate parking
coordinates are available.)
NOTE
INS can be downmoded to perform a
realignment
and
azimuth
gyro
calibration. Alignment to produce an
alignment state number of "5" can be
accomplished in approximately 17
minutes. During the 17 minute period,
an
automatic
azimuth
gyro
recalibration is determined on basis of
difference between inertial present
position
before
downmoding
and
inserted present position. To obtain
further refinement of azimuth gyro drift
rate, calculated on basis of newly
computed error data, INS can be left in
alignment mode for a longer period,
allowing the alignment state number
to attain some value lower than "5".
1.
Data selector STBY, then to
ALIGN.
2.
Present position coordinates
Insert, according to procedure:
"Geographic Present Position
Insertion" or "UTM Present
Position Insertion."
(b) Realignment INS shutdown. Perform
complete alignment procedures.
(c) Position update (recommended if
time is not available for realignment.)
NOTE
Perform position update using parking
coordinates
in
accordance
with
procedure: "Insertion of Geographic
Waypoint
Coordinates."
If
parking
coordinates are not available, proceed
as follows:
Continue operation in NAV, if INS accuracy appears
acceptable.
Perform position update using best estimate of
parking coordinates.
(d) Downmoding to standby:
NOTE
INS
can
be
downmoded
to
standby
operation
which
will
maintain
navigation
unit
at
operating temperature with gyro
wheels
running.
INS
is
downmoded
to
standby
as
follows:
1.
Mode selector STBY.
Caution
Do not leave INS operating unless
aircraft or ground power and
cooling
air
are
available
to
system.
(e) Shutdown:
1.
Mode selector OFF.
NOTE
INS will retain inertial present
position data computed at time INS
is downmoded. This value is
compared with present position
inserted for next alignment and
difference is used to determine
azimuth gyro drift rate.
d.
Abnormal Procedures.
(1) General.
INS
contains
self-testing
features which provide one or more warning indications
when a failure occurs. The WARN lamp on the CDU
provides a master warning for most malfunctions
occurring in the navigation unit. Malfunctions in the
MSU or CDU will normally be obvious because of
abnormal indications of displays and lamps. A battery
unit malfunction will shut down INS when battery power
is used.
(2)
Automatic INS shutdown.
(a)
Overtemperature. An
overtemp-
erature in navigation unit will cause INS to shut down
(indicated by blank CDU displays) when mode selector
is at STBY or ALIGN during ground operation. The
WARN lamp on CDU will illuminate and will not
extinguish until mode selector is rotated to OFF. The
cooling system should be checked and corrected if
faulty. If cooling system is satisfactory, navigation unit
should be replaced.
