    Gannet Electronics A Summary of the Electronic Equipment Fitted to early Model R.A.N Gannet A.S.1 Aircraft Prepared by David Mowat Ex-L.R.E.M.(A) 21st. August 2003 Page 1 Page 2 GANNET ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT Introduction The ‘Heart’ of the Gannet as a Weapons System was its Electronic Equipment. It contained a comprehensive range of electronic equipment to enable it to perform the various roles for which it was designed. Its Primary Role was to detect, locate, and destroy enemy submarines. For this Role, the Aircraft was fitted with a Search Radar and Sonobuoy Systems. Other electronic systems were also installed for Communications, both internal and external, and Navigation. The various equipments were allocated an ‘Aircraft Radio Installation’ (ARI) number, which specified the actual equipment used in each installation. These may vary between aircraft depending on the role that the particular aircraft was to perform. A cross- reference List of ARI’s is shown at Appendix ‘A’. The various equipments can be grouped into four major categories as follows: a.! Communications b.! Navigation c.! Warfare Systems d.! Stores Communications Equipment The Communications Equipment was used to enable the crew to talk to each other (internal communications) and other aircraft, ships or bases (external communications). They are as follows: a.! Audio Amplifier Type A1961 The Type A1921 was used to amplify the Microphone outputs from the three crew members and feed it back into the earphones. It was located on the port side of the rear cockpit at about seat height just forward of the Radio Operator.

However, the Bureau fully recognises that the implementation of recommendations arising from its investigations will in some cases incur a cost to the industry. Consequently, the Bureau always attempts to ensure that common sense applies whenever recommendations are formulated. BASI does not have the resources to carry out a full cost- benefit analysis of every recommendation. The cost of any recommendation must always be balanced against its benefits to safety, and aviation safety involves the whole community. Such analysis is a matter for the CAA and the industry.

  • Sailing Terms Into the Wind, but We Can Start Sailing from About 30 Degrees Away from the Wind
    Port and starboard are nautical terms for left and right, Can you remember what these respectively. parts of a boat are called? Port is the left-hand side of a vessel, facing forward. Starboard is the right-hand side, facing forward. Since port and starboard never change, they are unambiguous references that are not relative to the observer. Bow The bow of a boat is at the front The stern of a boat is at the back Port and starboard are also terms used to describe navigational aids like buoys, that show you how to get into A …...................... E …...................... or out of a harbour. On your way in the port buoys will be on your left coloured (or at night, lit) red and the starboard buoys on your right coloured or lit green.

  • Propulsion Shafting Alignment
    Guidance Notes on Propulsion Shafting Alignment GUIDANCE NOTES ON PROPULSION SHAFTING ALIGNMENT SEPTEMBER 2019 American Bureau of Shipping Incorporated by Act of Legislature of the State of New York 1862 2019 American Bureau of Shipping. All rights reserved. 1701 City Plaza Drive Spring, TX 77389 USA Foreword Foreword ABS identified the need to provide a more detailed explanation of alignment design and practices, which resulted in the development of the Guidance Notes on Propulsion Shafting Alignment. Their primary purpose is to provide clarification for ABS Surveyors and plan review engineers to verify consistency of the survey and plan approval processes. Regarding the shaft alignment design and implementation efforts by the shipbuilding industry, these Guidance Notes are valuable to further advance its approach towards shaft alignment analyses and procedures. Additionally, ABS has developed state-of-the-art analytical tools primarily for the purpose of engineering analysis and design. The ABS shaft alignment program, combined with alignment optimization software, is capable of analyzing complex propulsion installations and, when used as a design tool, may provide an optimized solution to the alignment problem. This 2019 edition is arranged to include additional topics on shaft alignment condition monitoring and a section dedicated to alignment problems and their solutions. Shaft alignment survey requirements are summarized in the introduction and are addressed further under a separate section on shaft alignment procedures and practices. Discussion on alignment calculation and measurement is expanded to include the stern tube bearing clearance measurement. Additional clarification is provided on the application of the hull deflections, alignment optimization, propulsion systems with no forward stern tube bearing, and reverse engineering calculation.
