1.

When the spin axis of gyro becomes coincident with one or other axis of freedom the condition known as
a. Gimble lock
b. Gimble error
c. both (a) and (b)
d. apparent drift

2. Property of gyroscope is rigidity and precession. A Gyro has

a. gimble system for providing freedom about the desired axis.
b. rotor with weight concentrated around the rim to obtain high value of angular momentum
c. bearing with very low friction and rotor rotates at a very high speed
d. all above are correct

3. MTCS
a. An earth gyro is different from space gyro. The earth gyro is reference to the earth.
b. a gyro can have a pneumatic drive mechanism or electric drive mechanism
c. a and b are correct
d. A gyro need not have any erection mechanism and a space gyro is very useful in aircraft control.

4. MTCS:
a. A mercury switch in gyro horizon erection system operates by level sense by force of gravity.
b. a gyro cannot be moved immediately after switching off as moving a gyro will cause high precession forces and will
cause internal damage
c. both a and b correct
d. a is correct and b is wrong

5. Freedom about horizontal axis X and Y is known as

a. pitch and roll freedom
b. yaw freedom
c. employed in gyro horizon
d. a and c are correct

6. The purpose of erection device in gyro horizon is

a. to increase the speed of rotor
b. increase the mass of gyroscope
c. a and b are correct
d. to maintain gyro in vertical position during operation

7. The property of a Gyro is rigidity and precision

a. in Gyro Horizon property of rigidity is used to obtain stabilized horizon indication
b. in directional gyro property of precession is used to obtain heading information by slaving to magnetic heading.
c. the property of rigidity is used to obtain rate of turn indication
d. the property of precession is not used for any purpose in Gyro Horizon.

8. An Artificial Horizon employs:

a. A tied gyro.
b. An earth gyro.
c. A rate gyro.

9. One characteristic that a properly functioning gyro depends upon for operation is the:
a. Resistance to deflection of the gyro rotor.
b. Ability to resist precession at 90 degrees to an applied force.
c. Position of the gyro axis relative to the Earths axis.

10. The principle of rigidity is used for the operation of the following gyroscopic instruments:
a. Directional Gyro and Artificial Horizon.
b. Directional Gyro and turn indicator.
c. Artificial horizon and turn indicator.
d. Directional Gyro, Artificial Horizon and turn and slip indicator.
