An inertial navigation system calculates velocity and distance using accelerometers and gyros mounted on a platform. It outputs true heading, time, and distance. The control display unit serves as the communication link between the pilot and navigation computer. An INS uses compensation signals from gyros to keep the platform level to the earth. A stall warning system detects impending stalls using sensors fitted to the aircraft's leading edge to measure angle of attack and provide indications. A GPWS uses radio altimetry to detect closeness to terrain and provides voice and light warnings for unsafe descent rates or glide slope deviations.
