Copies maybe obtained from SAE, 400 Commonwealth Drive, Warrendale, PA 15096.3. GENERAL STANDARDS:3.1 Indicating Means:The vertical velocity shall be indicated by means of a

9、pointer, dial tape, drum, or other type ofmoving element, or by a digital display with appropriate direction indication. Relative motion ofthe index with respect to the scale, or of the direction indicator (either the index or the scale maybe the moving element) must be clockwise, up, or to the righ

10、t for ascending vertical velocity.3.2 Display:3.2.1 Graduation (If Applicable): The graduations shall be arranged to provide the maximumreadability consistent with the accuracy of the instrument, with at least 100 ft/minute(30 m/minute), graduations to 1000 ft/minute (300 m/minute). Major graduation

11、s shall be at1000 ft/minute (300 m/minute), intervals and the minor graduations shall be at 500 ft/minute(150 m/minute) intervals.3.2.2 Numerals (If Applicable): The display shall include sufficient numerals to permit quick andpositive identification of each graduation.3.2.3 Limits: The indicating m

12、eans shall be limited in such a way that the moving element will notmove more than (a) 10 degrees for circular display, or (b) 0.25 inch (.6 mm) for linear displaysbeyond the greatest graduation in both ascending and descending directions. When theinstrument is pegged at its maximum rate indication,

13、 the direction of that indication, whetherascending or descending, shall be clear and unambiguous. If a digital display is used, apositive indication shall be provided on the display when the vertical velocity of the aircraftexceeds the instrument readout capability.SAE AS8016 Revision A- 3 -3.2.4 V

14、isibility: The indicating means must be visible from all points within a space defined by asurface generated by lines making an angle of at least 30 degrees with the perpendicular to thedisplay surface and diverging from the perimeter of the instrument window aperture. If integrallighting is provide

15、d, it must make all indicia within the instrument easily readable and not allowany objectionable stray light to come from the instrument.3.2.5 Zero Setting: Means for manually zeroing the instrument shall be provided for Type A, andshall be optional for Types B and C. The zero adjust range shall be

16、not less than 400 ft/minuteup and down movement. These methods shall meet the requirements of 3.5.3.3 Fire Resistance:Except for small parts (such as knobs, fasteners, seals, grommets, and small electrical parts) thatwould not contribute significantly to the propagation of a fire, all materials used

17、 must be self-extinguishing when tested in accordance with the requirements of Federal Aviation Regulation25.1359(d) and Appendix F thereto, with the exception that materials tested may be configured inaccordance with paragraph (b) of Appendix F or may be configured as used.3.4 Reflectance, Cover Gl

18、ass:The total reflectance of the instrument cover glass including the integral lighting wedge, ifapplicable, shall not exceed 10% of the incident light.

21、tion of the specified tests shall not produce a condition whichwould be detrimental to the continued performance of the instrument.SAE AS8016 Revision A- 4 -3.9 Mounting Attitude:Should the capability of an instrument to meet its stated performance be limited to a specificrelationship of its axes to

22、 the axes of the aircraft, this limitation must be stated. Instrumentsincorporating acceleration-sensitive devices must have these attitude limitations stated.3.10 Accuracy:Accuracy requirements for this standard are related to the instrument display or electrical outputfor a specified sensor input.

23、 For Type A and B instruments, the accuracy relates output topressure input to the instrument, since they are self-contained. For Type C instruments, theaccuracy relates output to the input at the remote sensor; if matching of the instrument to theremote sensor is necessary to maintain the required

24、overall accuracy, this must be so stated onthe instrument nameplate.3.11 Power Malfunction Indication:For Type B and C instruments, means must be incorporated in the instrument to indicate theloss of signal to the instrument and/or the loss of electrical power to the instrument. Theindicating means

25、must indicate a failure or malfunction in a positive manner.4.

All instruments shall be tested in accordance wi

26、th themanufacturers recommendations. The manufacturer shall conduct sufficient tests to provecompliance with these Minimum Performance Standards. Test equipment used to demonstrate therequired performance shall be described and its accuracy specified.4.1 Zero Setting:The pointer zero setting mechani
