AVCS / NORMAL Modes
The gyro has 2 operating modes: NORMAL mode and AVCS mode. In the AVCS mode, the angle is con-
trolled simultaneously with NORMAL mode rate control (swing speed). The AVCS mode increases straight
running stability more than that of the NORMAL mode. Because the feel of operation is different, choose your
favorite mode.
NORMAL
Countersteers against out-
side force, but cannot cor-
rect the skid direction.
AVCS
Corrects the skidding direc-
tion and forcefully main-
tains the heading.
