Sample Questions

Question 1
What is the primary operational difference between an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and an Inertial Reference System (IRS)?
An INS outputs navigation parameters directly to its own control display unit, whereas an IRS supplies raw attitude and inertial data to the Flight Management Computer (FMC).
An INS uses Ring Laser Gyroscopes, whereas an IRS relies exclusively on mechanical spinning gyroscopes.
An INS requires continuous satellite updating, while an IRS operates entirely self-contained without ground or satellite signals.
An INS operates only in strapdown configuration, while an IRS always uses a gimballed stabilized platform.
Question 2
In a Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG), what optical phenomenon is utilized to measure angular rotation rate?
The Sagnac Effect
The Doppler Shift Effect
The Coriolis Effect
The Piezoelectric Effect
Question 3
Why is 'dither' (a subtle mechanical oscillation) applied to a Ring Laser Gyroscope during operation?
To prevent 'laser lock-in' at low rotational rates by keeping the gyro in continuous motion.
To cool the laser optical cavity and maintain thermal equilibrium.
To align the laser beams with local magnetic north during ground initialisation.
To compensate for aircraft structural vibrations during high-speed cruise.
Question 4
What is the fundamental mathematical operation performed on accelerometer signals in an INS to derive aircraft position?
Double integration of acceleration with respect to time.
Single differentiation of acceleration with respect to time.
Double differentiation of velocity with respect to distance.
Multiplication of acceleration by groundspeed and true track angle.
Question 5
What is the oscillation period of a Schuler-tuned inertial navigation platform at or near the Earth's surface?
84.4 minutes
60.0 minutes
45.2 minutes
120.0 minutes
