cockpit instruments
Cockpit instruments are the key tools pilots use to monitor and control an aircraft. They display vital information such as altitude (how high the plane is), airspeed (how fast it’s going), heading (direction), attitude (angle of the plane), and engine performance. These instruments help pilots ensure safe flight by providing real-time data on the aircraft’s status and environment. Some common instruments include the altimeter, speed indicator, compass, artificial horizon, and engine gauges. Collectively, they enable pilots to make precise decisions, navigate effectively, and respond quickly to changing conditions.
