Procedure

Once the Ψ yaw angle is known, proceed with the leveling. In vast
majority of cases it is safe to assume Ψ = 0.
• Place aircraft on flat surface and put it into cruise attitude.
Use supports and lift tail or nose if necessary.
• Please make sure that aircraft is level for both, roll and pitch.
Make also sure that Horis is turned on for at least five minutes –
this warms up the internal electronics and stabilises numerical
filters.
• Once the aircraft is level and steady, select the AHRS level
option from the settings menu.
• Set the Yaw misalign. value first. In most cases, this value is
zero.
• Then select the Start leveling. This will start the leveling
procedure.
• Wait for the progress bar to finish and observe the roll and
pitch numerical values. At the end they should stabilise. These
values tell the misalignment angles and Horis will use them for
the compensation. Window closes automatically.
