FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: method of measuring banking angle and apparatus for realising said method involve emission of horizontal linearly polarised electromagnetic waves from a point with known coordinates, receiving the electromagnetic waves on-board the aircraft and determining the banking angle based on the measured amplitude values of in-phase orthogonal linearly polarised components of the received signal.
EFFECT: preventing constant accumulation of measurement errors over time and eliminating sensitivity to overloads which arise during unsteady flight conditions.
