Aircraft instruments

Aircraft instruments are devices that provide pilots with critical information about the plane’s condition and environment. They include the speed indicator (airspeed), altitude gauge, artificial horizon (attitude indicator) showing the plane’s position relative to the horizon, vertical speed indicator, and heading indicator. Additional instruments monitor engine performance, fuel levels, and navigation. Together, these instruments help pilots fly safely by offering real-time data on speed, altitude, direction, and aircraft systems, enabling informed decisions and precise control during all phases of flight, from takeoff to landing.
