Attitude
Indicator
Altimeter
Turn
Coordinator
Heading
Indicator
Airspeed Indicator
Vertical
Speed
Indicator
Attitude Indicator
Displays an aircrafts
pitch and bank with
a gyro stabilized bar
which remains
parallel to the
horizon.
Turn Coordinator
Detects motion
about the roll and
yaw axes of an
aircraft by utilizing
the property of
gyroscopic
precession.
Heading Indicator
A gyro that gives a
more stable
indication of an
aircrafts heading
than a magnetic
compass.
Airspeed Indicator
 A pressure gauge that
is calibrated to convert
the difference between
impact (or ram) air
pressure due to an
aircrafts motion and
the local static air pressure into a
reading of velocity thought the air
mass.
Altimeter
Tells you your
altitude by
measuring air
pressure.
Vertical Speed Indicator
Measures the rate
of change of air
pressure as the
plane climbs or
descends.
