| Aug 27, 2021 at 6:26 | comment | added | MishaP | I'd also like to note, that there are several ways that various plane manufacturers handle output. 1) Show them separately, as stated in this answer 2) Take the average (as long as the difference is within tolerance) 3) Output only one, using the other to validate and switch over as backup. Likewise, there are several methods for fault detection. | |

One centimeter of displacement indicates 0.2g. The sideslip index is against its stop at 0.3g". So I assume the ADIRS uses the IRS to detect the slip, it's not a static pressure difference. | |
