The magnitude of the Coriolis error signal depends on the aircraft speed, aircraft heading,
- Rotation of the Earth, and geographic longitude.
- Rotation of the Earth, and geographic latitude
- Aircraft attitude, and geographic longitude
- Aircraft attitude, and geographic latitude
Correct Answer

A. Rotation of the Earth, and geographic latitude

Explanation

The Coriolis error signal is a result of the rotation of the Earth and the geographic latitude. The Coriolis effect is caused by the rotation of the Earth, which causes moving objects (such as an aircraft) to be deflected to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere. This deflection is dependent on the speed and heading of the aircraft, as well as the latitude at which it is located. Therefore, the magnitude of the Coriolis error signal is influenced by the rotation of the Earth and the geographic latitude.
