Accelerometers cannot be trusted as a vertical reference during acceleration because

  • A.They saturate at high speed
  • B.They cannot separate it from gravity
  • C.They stop working above a threshold
  • D.They are too slow to respond

Answer: B

The measured specific force tilts with the applied acceleration, so a level aircraft accelerating appears to be pitched up. It is the same physics that produces the acceleration error in a mechanical attitude indicator.
