Consider the following statements about the system's outputs:

1. It provides pitch, roll and heading.

2. It does not provide position.

3. It replaces the air data computer.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1, 2 and 3
  • B.1 and 2 only
  • C.1 and 3 only
  • D.2 and 3 only

Answer: B

Correct answer: 1 and 2 only

Statement 1 is correct: pitch, roll and heading are exactly the outputs the system exists to provide. Statement 2 is correct: it does not provide position, because that would require integrating specific force twice, with the error growing as \( t^2 \) and nothing available to bound it.

Statement 3 is false. The air data computer supplies altitude, airspeed and Mach number from pressure and temperature measurements - aerodynamic quantities that no inertial sensor measures. The two systems are complementary, and both are fitted.
