acceleration error [ak‚sel·ə′rā·shən ‚er·ər] (navigation) That error resulting from change in a craft's velocity vector: specifically, either the deviation of an aircraft magnetic compass caused by the action of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field on the compass magnets when the compass card is thrown off level by accelerations of the aircraft; or the deflection of the apparent vertical, as indicated by an artificial horizon, due to acceleration.
