IF1200A Pilot Operating Handbook Appendix
Calibrate the Accelerometers
This section describes how to calibrate the accelerometers on the aircraft. Accelerometer
calibration is not normally required unless instructed by Inspired Flight Customer Support.
Accelerometer calibration corrects the autopilot bias offsets in all three axes, as well as any
off-axis variations.
The IF1200A aircraft weighs 35.9 lbs. The procedures in this
section require that the aircraft be lifted and moved into various
orientations. The weight of the IF1200A may make this
hazardous for some people. Alternative procedures that avoid
lifting and moving the IF1200A are referenced, if available.
● The accelerometers in the autopilot must be calibrated to correct for their
bias offsets in all three axes, as well as any off-axis variations.
● Accelerometer calibration is mandatory in ArduPilot.
● Accelerometer calibration cannot be performed while the vehicle is armed.
Two procedures are described for calibrating the accelerometers (click on a link to go there):
● Mission Planner: Go to: Accelerometer Calibration: Mission Planner
● QGroundControl: Go to: Accelerometer Calibration: QGroundControl
