PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method in which the sideslip of an aircraft is measured by using an air data probe and an inertia reference unit. SOLUTION: The method allows the measurement of the sideslip of an aircraft by using an air data probe and an inertia reference unit. A lateral sideslip componentβL of the aircraft is calculated as a function of inertial flight information. Also, the angular sideslip componentβA of the aircraft is calculated as a function of inertial flight information. When the lateral sideslip componentβL and the angular sideslip componentβA are combined, a total sideslip angleβTOTAL of the aircraft is obtained. The total sideslip angleβTOTAL can be used to compensate other aircraft parameters regarding static pressure, angle of attack and sideslip effect.
