Study Notes
Analog Instruments
- Analog instruments are used to control altitude, attitude, airspeed, and heading of the aircraft.
- The four basic flight instruments are arranged in a "T" shape on the instrument panel.
- These four instruments are:
Airspeed Indicator
- Located on top left of the instrument panel.
- Measures the aircraft's speed in nautical miles per hour.
Attitude Indicator
- Located on top center of the instrument panel.
- Shows the aircraft's attitude relative to the earth's horizon.
Altimeter
- Located on top right of the instrument panel.
- Displays the barometric altitude as measured in feet.
Gyro-Slaved Heading Indicator
- Located in the bottom center of the instrument panel.
- Shows the direction the aircraft is flying.
Additional Instruments
- A turn-and-bank indicator displays the rate of turn in the roll axis and amount of bank in the yaw axis.
- A vertical speed indicator displays the rate of ascent or descent in feet per minute.
