I'm a strong proponent of IFR (I Fly Roads).  I-70 across Colorado and
Kansas is one heck of a directional indicator!

I suggest  two other unofficial anti-Murphy flight instruments:

Aircraft crashes area caused by simultaneous loss of: airspeed,

Smithsonian Air and Space magazine had a recent short piece on Wrong
Way
Corrigan and his earth inductor compass use.
http://airspacemag.com/issues/2007/february-march/flights_and_fancy.php

In 2001, the PBS program Nova covered the story of a 1947 airliner that
crashed into the Andes.  Airspeed had been commonly used for navigation
up
to that point.  However, this plane was flying over the mountains and
ran
into the jet stream.  The jet stream was not well known or understood at
the time.  The additional head wind significantly reduced the ground
speed
without reducing the air speed.  As a result, the pilots started their
descent much too soon and crashed.

14 CFR 91.205(b) lists the required equipment on a certificated aircraft
when flying under VFR (Visual Flight Rules).  One could argue that an
altimeter is a piece of navigation equipment, but the only other
required navigation device is a Magnetic direction indicator.  Sounds
like a compass to me.  Before anyone jumps on the airspeed indicator
bandwagon, remember, it reads indicated, not true, and it is speed
through the air, not over the ground.  Zero wind, OK.  Anything else,
who knows?  Keeping your flight log up to date?

For those of you who aren't pilots, I'm sorry.  For those who are, isn't
this fun?

Oh, and Julie Boatman had the compass fail in AOPA's Cutlass while
bringing it from the purchase location to start the restoration for next
year's give-away.  So they aren't completely fail proof.  But they are
more reliable than any gyro.

In fact, it's not just a fall back instrument in the world of general
aviation. There are many aircraft flying today where the lowly compass
is the primary (or even the only) navigational instrument. It has its
idiosyncrasies but once understood, its reliability and predicatability
remain unmatched by more advanced instrumentation.

I recall hearing an instructor once dismissing a gyroscopic heading
indicator as a mere 'luxury'. Still...a sneaky glance at the handheld
GPS never hurts.

No, but that old magnetic compass is still the fall back instrument for
navigation.  In fact, I set the gyro compass (heading indicator) to the
magnetic compass every 15 minutes or so on the planes I fly.  Some more
modern HIs automatically correct using a magnetic sensor, but the idea
is the same.  Don't mess with the magnetic compass, you really want to

No, but that old magnetic compass is still the fall back instrument for
navigation.  In fact, I set the gyro compass (heading indicator) to the
magnetic compass every 15 minutes or so on the planes I fly.  Some more
modern HIs automatically correct using a magnetic sensor, but the idea
is the same.  Don't mess with the magnetic compass, you really want to
be able to depend on it.

RE: IATA 902 Magnetic Testing

2002-04-19 Thread Andrew Carson

Bud

 

I routinely test all our products to the  IATA requirements. There are no 
exemptions the regulations  apply to all goods put onto an aircraft. 

 

In general I find products which have  welded steel are going to produce a 
magnetic field. With the field most concentrated at the weld points. If it is a 
rack, it almost always needs to be labelled. Aluminium  bodies and riveted 
construction tends not to be too magnetic and can often go unlabelled. Although 
on occasion have found fields coming from large sheets of rolled steel. 

 

Basically if the product has a lot of ferromagnetic material, it can become 
magnetised during construction. Also watch out for large coils and 
transformers, magnetising the surrounding materials. 

 

If you are having trouble locating information on IATA testing, I suggest you 
try the FAA. They enforce the IATA regs within US airspace.

Subject: IATA 902 Magnetic Testing




Although this is not an EMC standard it is related. My lab has been 
asked to test our products to the magnetic standards of IATA Packing 
Instruction 902.  This test determines the ability of a device to change a 
compass reading.  I have the regulations and know how to do the test, but do 
not do it routinely.  Products that fail this test must be labeled and 
additional shipping charges are imposed.   I know that one of our products 
fails and we are labeling it.  Fines for non-compliance are substantial, yet I 
am having a hard time finding anyone who knows about or complies with this 
standard.  My questions are:

Does anyone else perform this test, or have it performed on their 
products? 
What kind of results are you getting depending upon product size, 
shape, metal content? 
Are there exceptions or conditions that would exclude product families 
from this regulation. 

Any help or discussion would be appreciated.

You are absolutely right, the magnetic field limits are all about cargo 
interfering with a planes navigation systems,
and nothing to do with the effect on human's.

To carry Hazardous material, a cargo plane must be licensed and has an upper 
limit on how much mass it can carry. Very
few combined passenger and cargo planes are licensed to carry Hazardous 
material. This can make finding an available
plane to ship your goods quite tricky sometimes !

Re: IATA/airfreight and magnetic fields

2001-12-04 Thread Andrew Carson

When you do the measurements it is often very surprising, as too what turns out 
ot be magnetic, and what is ok.

Remember for far field measurements a magnetic field drops of at an inverse 
cube rate (approx.).
So being very crude with the equations (as the physics often hurts my head), if 
you have a large powerful magnet of say, a 20 cm diameter. At 2.1m the field 
strength is already reduced to 1/9000th and at 4.6m to nearly 1/10th of the 
max field strength measured at the magnets face.



Ted Rook wrote:

 JBL Professional Audio makes heavy duty loudspeaker drivers which feature the 
 traditional big magnet at the back. These items are airfreighted all over the 
 world daily. I recall seeing an airfreight label on the cartons which 
 declared the contents to be 'magnetic'. The figure given in a recent post for 
 maximum allowance, mG at meters distance, would be exceeded by these devices, 
 I think. You could try the JBL website, their US headquarters is in Los 
 Angeles CA, they are part of the Harman Audio group.

It is also interesting that 2mG limit closely approximates the emotional
one established through epidemiological studies.

Here in the Bay Area the field is around 50uT( 500mG )

It is my understanding that the magnetic field has been steadily declining.
From the time of Christ until now it has dropped in half.   And is evidently
on a decline towards zero (reversing poles) The significance?  I was
told that every ice age was accompanied by a pole reversal (but not every
pole reversal is accompanied by an ice age)

2mG at a measurement distance of 2.1m - Hazardous Magnetic Material, must
be marked accordingly
5.25mG at a measurement distance of 4.6m - Can not be transported by
aircraft.

Not much when you think the Earths magnetic field is 450 to 550mG


What about frequency?

 I understand that there is an IATA standard that sets the magnetic field
 limit for a device being shipped in an aircraft. Can someone point me to a
 website that has this standard/limit?

You want Packing Instruction 902, within the section on Dangerous Goods.

To summaries the limits are,

2mG at measurement distance of 2.1m - Non Magnetic Material
2mG at a measurement distance of 2.1m - Hazardous Magnetic Material, must be 
marked accordingly
5.25mG at a measurement distance of 4.6m - Can not be transported by aircraft.

Not much when you think the Earths magnetic field is 450 to 550mG
