DIGITAL WEATHER AVOIDANCE
APPENDIX D
Relative bearing stabilizer (RBS)
Introduction
The
Relative Bearing Stabilizer
is a plug-in module that automatically
repositions strike dots, relative to the aircraft heading, during turns. This
is achieved without the Strike Finder having to be slaved to an on-board
compass system —no aircraft compass system needed. The
RBS
connected to Strike Finder is all that is required,
(see Figure 42)
.
Description
The
RBS
is powered through Strike Finder circuitry without additional wiring.
New software algorithms employ data from integrated motion sensors and
data processors to determine heading changes. No field configuration or
calibration is required after factory testing and installation.

Installation
When factory installed, the
Relative Bearing Stabilizer
is mounted within
the standard Strike Finder housing, (modification “D” and newer units).
