There are two properties of gyroscopes that are utilized in aviation, that is rigidity and precession. There are various generic types of gyroscope used in aircraft instruments. Power to spin a gyroscope is either produced by an electric motor or derived from air pressure directed against vanes on the circumference of the rotor. The altitude indicator (AI) or artificial horizon shows the aircraft bank and pitch angles relative to the Earth's horizon and is particularly important to the pilot when flying without external visual references. The vertical component of the Earth's magnetic field produces reading errors for an aircraft heading along the North or South quadrants and banking. Micro‐Electromechanical System (MEMS) gyroscopes are the most recent devices to be used in aircraft instruments and are likely to become dominant in new aircraft in the next few years.
