Attitude And Heading Reference Unit

Attitude and Heading Reference Unit (AHRS) is a type of flight instrument that is used in aircraft to provide accurate and reliable information about the aircraft's attitude (pitch, roll, and yaw) and heading. It is a crucial component of the aircraft's navigation system.

AHRS combines data from various sensors such as accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to determine the aircraft's orientation and movement in three-dimensional space. This information is then used by the aircraft's autopilot system, navigation displays, and other flight instruments to provide the pilot with essential flight parameters.

AHRS units are typically compact, lightweight, and highly accurate. They are designed to withstand the harsh conditions of flight, including vibrations and extreme temperatures. AHRS technology has significantly improved the accuracy and reliability of aircraft navigation systems, making them an essential component of modern aircraft instrumentation.

In the supply class Flight Instruments, AHRS units are categorized as part of the Instruments and Laboratory Equipment supply group. This group includes various instruments and equipment used for flight operations, navigation, and aircraft maintenance. AHRS units are specifically designed for flight applications and are crucial for ensuring the safety and efficiency of aircraft operations.
