description abstractThe measurement of air motion has now advanced to the stage where routine measurement of the three components of the velocity of the air can be made from aircraft to an accuracy of about 0.3 m s?1. The techniques have advanced from using a simple accelerometer at the center of gravity of the aircraft, to give an indication of the updrafts causing the aircraft gust load, to the present inertial platform based systems now in use. To understand the degree to which an investigator can have confidence in an unusual wind measurement it is necessary to understand the likelihood of various sources of error. Because no overall system calibration is possible, an investigator can only be sure he is not dealing with erroneous data by relying on consistency checks involving adjustment of the various corrections used in the air motion calculation.
