aviation instruments

Aviation instruments are devices in an aircraft that provide pilots with essential information about the aircraft’s speed, altitude, direction, and attitude (orientation). Key instruments include the airspeed indicator, which shows how fast the plane is moving through the air; the altimeter, which measures height above sea level; the attitude indicator, which shows the aircraft's orientation relative to the horizon; the heading indicator, which displays the compass direction; and the vertical speed indicator, which informs whether the plane is climbing or descending. These tools enable pilots to navigate safely and maintain control, especially in poor visibility conditions.
