PRIMUSr 880 Digital Weather Radar System

In prolonged turns, gyro precession can occur that is tracked by the stabilization system and appears as undesirable ground targets on the indicator. For example, a 1°precession error (which would probably not be noticed on the gyro horizon) moves the antenna beam approximately 10,500 feet at a point 100 NM from the aircraft, If ground targets between 50 and 80 NM depending on aircraft altitude and the actual setting of the tilt control.
