Turning error- Liquid swirl

1. Whe1. It is therefore necessary to construct a device in which static pressure is subtracted


from pitot (total)
pressure in order to isolate dynamic pressure
2. Static pressure is present on both the inside and the outside of the metal walls of the capsule
and so
cancels.
3. Therefore the pressure differential between the inside and outside of the capsule is (Dy + S) -
S which is
Dynamic.
4. Expansion or contraction on the capsule will therefore be proportional to the changes in
dynamic
pressure produced by changes of airspeed.
CALIBRTION
1. Dynamic pressure depends not only on the
speed of the aircraft but also on the air
density.
2. This density varies with temperature and
pressure and therefore with altitude.
3. The ASI is calibrated to read true airspeed for
the air density of 1225 grams per cubic
metre which would be produced by the ISA
MSL pressure of 1013.25 hPa and
temperature + 15°C (dry air conditions).
4. No allowance is made in the calibration for
the change in density which occurs with
change of altitude.
5. No allowance is made in the calibration for
the change in density which occurs with
change of altitude.
6. As the ASI is only calibrated at MSL, and ISA conditions, flight at any other height will cause
errors.

decreasing to zero
when passing through East or West.
2. Magnitude of Turning Errors variables with rate of turn, duration of turn,
speed of the
aircraft, the headings involved, and the design of the compass.
3. At the magnetic equator where there is no vertical component Z in the earth’s
field,
liquid swirl is the sole source of turning error; with most 1. It is therefore necessary to
