Abstract
A gyroscope assembly is maintained in a park position during drilling activities. In the park position, a sensitive axis of a gyroscope in the gyroscope assembly is perpendicular or approximately perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of a downhole tool. Maintaining the park position during drilling activities reduces the drift bias caused by overloading the input signal of the gyroscope due to rotation of the downhole tool.
