3.9 AIR DATA SYSTEM AND MISCELLANEOUS INSTRUMENTS
Description
The air data computer and slaved altimeter, installed in the nose cone, measures the static
pressure, dynamic pressure and total temperature, collected by the pitot static system and the
total temperature probe. It then computes and transmits to several aircraft systems the
following data:
- Mach number
- Calibrated airspeed
- Pressure altitude
- Vertical speed
The slaved altimeter repeats the altitude computed by the air data computer and sends pressure
altitude to the IFF.
The system includes also an incidence indicator, also called angle of attack (AOA) indicator.
