What is an Automatic Pilot Engaging Controller?

An Automatic Pilot Engaging Controller (CONTROLLER,ENGAGING,AUTOMATIC PILOT) is a controller used to engage and disengage the automatic pilot system in part or in whole.

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 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 Linear Electrical Accelerometer?

A Linear Electrical Accelerometer (ACCELEROMETER,ELECTRICAL,LINEAR) is an accelerometer which produces an output current directly equated to the rate of velocity change in its inherent line of sensitivity related to the direction of the foward movement of the object to which it is attached, or of which it is a part.

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.
