FaRo Forum

I keep forgetting, and asking again can you please list the sign conventions as used for calculations within FaRo? Am aware that these may be different for use at display level.

For example, Pitch + is for bow up? And Pitch Rate is + for bow moving up?

Hi.
FaRo has a right-handed coordinate system, where:
X axis is aligned with longitudinal axis of the boat, positive pointing forward,
Y axis is aligned with transversal axis, positive to starboard
Z axis is aligned with vertical axis, positive pointing down.

So, Pitch >0 bow up, Pitch rate >0 bow moving up.
