Study Notes

Flight Instrumentation

There are two types of flight instrumentation: primary and secondary instruments.
Primary instruments provide basic flight information:
- Air Speed Indicator (ASI): shows aircraft's speed
- Altimeter: indicates aircraft's altitude
- Heading Indicator (HI): shows direction of flight
- Turn Coordinator (TC): indicates turns and bank angles
Secondary instruments provide additional information to support primary instruments:
- Magnetic Compass: indicates direction of magnetic north
- Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI): shows rate of climb or descent
- Turn and Bank Indicator (TBI): shows turn rates and bank angles
Secondary instruments are important because they provide supplementary data to aid in navigation, situational awareness, and decision-making.
