Accelerometer
Tags: FAA Pilot's Handbook
Accelerometer. A part of an inertial navigation system (INS) that accurately measures the force of acceleration in one direction.
Accelerometer: An inertial device for measuring acceleration, usually in three orthogonal axes; accelerometers usually consist of a mass, spring, and damper; accelerometers are usually included in inertial sensors, such as AHRS and INS.

ADC. See air data computer
ADF. See automatic direction finder.
Accelerometer. An instrument for measuring acceleration in a definite direction.
The instrumentation required consists of angle of attach, air speed, altimeter, sideslip, elevator angle, rudder and ailcron angle indicators, accelerometer.
A problem with this procedure is that most light aircraft do not have an accelerometer fitted, so it is difficult to judge the g being pulled.
INS - Inertial navigation system, in which highly sensitive accelerometers record, via a computer, the complex accelerations of an aircraft about its three axes, ...
Specialized air data booms may also contain mission-specific sensors such humidity sensors, ice detectors, accelerometers, strain gages, and the like.
[edit] Synonyms
Air data booms are referred to by a variety names to include: ...
AHRS - attitude-heading reference system. A sensor deriving aircraft attitude and heading information from gyros and accelerometers.
AIAA - area of intense aerial activity, usually military.
