Appendix C: List of Gyro Model Error Sources and Weighting Functions In addition to the above MWD weighting functions the gyro error model introduces a whole new set of error sources and associated weighting functions. The weighting functions can be grouped into those which apply in S tationary survey mode, C ontinuous survey mode or either mode. During a single survey leg a tool made transition between these modes as a function of inclination.
