Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for attitude fault detection in an inertial measurement unit (IMU) are disclosed. In one embodiment, an avionics system comprises: an IMU configured to produce a calculated pitch solution, a calculated roll solution, or both; a monitor coupled to the IMU and configured to produce an estimated pitch solution, an estimated roll solution, or both; a comparator, wherein the comparator determines the difference between the calculated pitch solution and the estimated pitch solution, the difference between the calculated roll solution and the estimated roll solution, or both; and a display device communicatively coupled to the comparator; wherein the display device receives a warning message from the comparator when the difference between the calculated pitch solution and the estimated pitch solution is greater than a pitch threshold, or when the difference between the calculated roll solution and the estimated roll solution is greater than a roll threshold, or both.
