Attitude and heading reference system

An attitude and heading reference system (AHRS) is like a GPS for airplanes. It tells the pilots where the airplane is pointing in the sky and how it is moving.

Imagine your toy airplane that you fly around your room. When you tilt the airplane up or down, it changes direction. In an airplane, there are sensors that detect these changes in direction and movement.

The sensors work together to give the pilots information about the airplane’s position and movement. This information helps them know if they’re going up or down, turning left or right, and how fast they’re going.

The AHRS is important for flying because it helps the pilots steer the airplane correctly and safely. They can make sure the airplane is flying in the right direction and keep track of any changes.

So just like you use your eyes and hands to steer your toy airplane, the AHRS helps pilots see and navigate the real airplane in the sky.
