What is an Automatic Pilot Servomotor?

An Automatic Pilot Servomotor (SERVOMOTOR,AUTOMATIC PILOT) is a component of an automatic pilot designed to convert signals received from the flight controllers into mechanical motion for actuating airframe control surfaces. It incorporates its own braking mechanism, reversing mechanism, overpower clutch, cable drum, and a follow-up circuit for returning the mechanisms to a neutral position. See also MOTOR, CONTROL.

What is an Automatic Pilot Altitude Control?

An Automatic Pilot Altitude Control (CONTROL,ALTITUDE,AUTOMATIC PILOT) is a control designed with an airtight case, consisting of a bellows or diaphragm which responds to changes in barometric pressure and is used in conjunction with an automatic pilot to maintain a desired altitude.

What is a Displacement Gyroscope?

A Displacement Gyroscope (GYROSCOPE,DISPLACEMENT) is a gyroscope which senses, measures and transmits angular displacement data.

What is a Rate Gyroscope?

A Rate Gyroscope (GYROSCOPE,RATE) is a gyroscope which senses, measures, and transmits rate of angular displacement data. See also SENSOR,ANGULAR RATE.

What is a Computer Subassembly?

A Computer Subassembly is two or more different types of items, having a common mounting or mounted on each other which together form a portion of a computer, but which in itself is not a complete functioning item and cannot be assigned a more definite item name.

What is an Attitude-Heading Gyroscope Control?

An Attitude-Heading Gyroscope Control (CONTROL,GYROSCOPE,ATTITUDE-HEADING) is a control designed for use with automatic pilots and/or remote attitude indicators consisting primarily of a gyroscope which provides signals for controlling an aircraft about its lateral and longitudinal axis and/or signals for providing a visual presentation of attitude to the pilot.

What is a Flight Control Computer?

A Flight Control Computer (COMPUTER,FLIGHT CONTROL) is provides power for and accepts inputs from other flight control electronic sets. Performs computations and logic switching necessary to control the roll, pitch and yaw of the aircraft.

NATO Supply Class 6615 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 66, which is dedicated to Instruments And Laboratory Equipment. Specifically, Class 6615 focuses on Automatic Pilot Mechanisms And Airborne Gyro Components.

Automatic pilot mechanisms are devices used in aircraft to control and maintain the aircraft's attitude, altitude, and course without constant manual input from the pilot. These mechanisms utilize various sensors, actuators, and control systems to automate the aircraft's flight.

Airborne gyro components, on the other hand, are gyroscopic instruments used in aircraft for navigation, stability, and attitude control. Gyroscopes are devices that use the principle of angular momentum to maintain a stable reference point, which is crucial for accurate navigation and control in flight.

NATO Supply Class 6615 includes a wide range of equipment and components related to automatic pilot mechanisms and airborne gyro components. This can include gyroscopes, gyrocompasses, attitude indicators, flight control systems, autopilots, and other related instruments and components.

The purpose of this classification is to provide a standardized system for categorizing and organizing these specific types of instruments and components used in aircraft. This facilitates efficient procurement, logistics, and maintenance processes within NATO member countries.
