Items
- a. Specified to function at linear acceleration levels less than or equal to 100 g and having any of the following:
- a.1. An angular rate range of less than 500 degrees per second and having any of the following:
- a.1.a. A “bias” “stability” of less (better) than 0.5 degree per hour, when measured in a 1 g environment over a period of one month, and with respect to a fixed calibration value; or
- a.1.b. An “angle random walk” of less (better) than or equal to 0.0035 degree per square root hour; or
- a.2. An angular rate range greater than or equal to 500 degrees per second and having any of the following:
- a.2.a. A “bias” “stability” of less (better) than 4 degrees per hour, when measured in a 1 g environment over a period of three minutes, and with respect to a fixed calibration value; or
- a.2.b. An “angle random walk” of less (better) than or equal to 0.1 degree per square root hour; or
- b. Specified to function at linear acceleration levels exceeding 100 g.

Notes
License Requirement Note: For the purpose of MT controls only, the term 'stability' is defined as a measure of the ability of a specific mechanism or performance coefficient to remain invariant when continuously exposed to a fixed operating condition. (This definition does not refer to dynamic or servo stability.) (IEEE STD 528-2001 paragraph 2.247)
Note: 7A002.a.1.b does not control “spinning mass gyros”.
Note: 7A002.a.2.b does not apply to “spinning mass gyros”.
