What are the instruments of the aircraft?
The instruments that give information on the aircraft’s in flight performance. Examples are the Altimeter, the Airspeed Indicator, the Heading Indicator, the Attitude Indicator (artificial horizon), the Turn Coordinator, and the Vertical Speed Indicator. The six primary instruments (the “six-pack”) are the Attitude Indicator (AI), Heading Indicator (HI), Turn Coordinator, Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).The instruments in the six pack are powered by various aircraft systems. The Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and Vertical Speed Indicator use the pitot-static system, which provides ram air pressure from the pitot tube and ambient pressure from the static port.The “six pack” references the six main flight instruments in a cockpit, displayed with three instruments stacked on top of three other instruments. While three of the six instruments belong to the plane’s Pitot-Static Pressure System, the other three are considered Gyroscope Instruments.The six primary instruments (the “six-pack”) are the Attitude Indicator (AI), Heading Indicator (HI), Turn Coordinator, Airspeed Indicator, Altimeter, and the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI).
What are the 4 principles of aircraft?
Four forces affect an airplane while it is flying: weight, thrust, drag and lift. See how they work when you do these activities as demonstrations. Four forces affect an airplane while it is flying: weight, thrust, drag and lift.
What are the 5 ts of instrument flight?
Turn, time, twist, throttle, talk, and track make up the six T’s. These can be used anytime during a flight when crossing a fix or making a turn. It is a mental checklist exercise to help you stay ahead of the airplane. Using the Five T’s. Once you have completed the steps above you are ready to move on to the venerable five T’s. Time, turn, twist, throttle, and talk all have valid uses throughout many phases of instrument flight.
