It is premised that a surveying instrument at least includes an elevation angle measuring part 30 measuring an elevation angle relative to an object to be measured. Under this premise, the surveying instrument includes an error detecting part 35, 54, 55 detecting a vertical-axis error Δθ reflected in an elevation angle measured by the elevation angle measuring part 30 and a correction processing part 50 receiving an elevation angle measured by the elevation angle measuring part 30 and outputting as an elevation angle an angle acquired by cancelling the vertical-axis error Δθ detected by the error detecting part 35, 54, 55 form the elevation angle.

Methods and systems of generating a data driven digital chart. The methods and systems include retrieving a data driven chart for a requested terminal area procedure chart from a database of data driven charts. The data driven charts describe digital terminal area procedure charts by way of data elements for each terminal area procedure chart including geodetic straights, arcs, text elements and symbols defined with respect to location. Some of the data elements are further defined with respect to altitude values assuming a standard atmospheric temperature value. The systems and methods include calculating compensated altitude values for the data elements of the retrieved data driven chart based on a deviation between the outside air temperature value and the standard atmospheric temperature value. The methods and systems include generating a presentation for a display device of the aircraft of the terminal area procedure chart.

The present invention measures jump heights using an IMU sensor module slipped in a pocket of a removable side ankle mount clip placed over any low, mid or high tops ankle athletic running shoe. A micro-processor in the IMU sensor module converts analog jump height data collected with real time digital signal processing to digital data sent to specialized algorithms loaded in a RF paired smartphone to refine the digital data to accurately calculate the height of the jump. The clip has two downward spaced legs joined by a curved arch at the top with a first leg being flexible and fitting snugly against a wearer's ankle below the fibula bone with the curved arch resting over the shoe's collar. The second leg has a foot extending outwardly from the curved arch to form a pocket with a top opening to receive and snugly hold the module.

An aircraft defining an upright orientation and an inverted orientation, a ground station; and a control system for remotely controlling the flight of the aircraft. The ground station has an auto-land function that causes the aircraft to invert, stall, and controllably land in the inverted orientation to protect a payload and a rudder extending down from the aircraft. In the upright orientation, the ground station depicts the view from a first aircraft camera. When switching to the inverted orientation: (1) the ground station depicts the view from a second aircraft camera, (2) the aircraft switches the colors of red and green wing lights, extends the ailerons to act as inverted flaps, and (3) the control system adapts a ground station controller for the inverted orientation. The aircraft landing gear is an expanded polypropylene pad located above the wing when the aircraft is in the upright orientation.
