What is the Airspeed Indicator instrument?
Indicates the air speed (usually in knots), but really this is the speed at which the air is flowing over the airplane.
What is the Airspeed Indicator not a measurement of?
Ground Speed
One knot is equivalent to how many miles?

Speed of boats and aircrafts are generally measured in knots.
What does the Attitude Indicator depict?
The position of the airplane in relation to the horizon.
What does the Altimeter measure?
Shows aircrafts height above mean sea level (MSL)
What must the pilot do to the Altimeter BEFORE taking off?
The Pilot must be aware of the Ground elevation, to then calculate the height of the airplane above the Ground and adjust accordingly.
What does the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) do?
Indicates the Rate of Climb and Rate of Descent (usually in feet per minute/fpm)
What does the Heading Indicator do?
Indicates direction relation to magnetic North
What does the HI need to match?
Must be set according to the Magnetic Compass indication before takeoff
What does the Turn Coordinator do?
Shows direction and rate of turns and indicates slip and skid
What is Standard Rate Turn
