| An altimeter is | an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of the attitude of the plane - it indicates attitude in both pitch and roll. The instrument is considered the most important for flight under the instrument flight rules (IFR), but has minimal application under the visual flight rules (VFR), except in emergencies, when the pilot may lose visual reference to the ground. |
| Airspeed indicator is | an instrument used in an aircraft to inform the pilot of his heading. It is sometimes referred to by its older name, the directional gyro, or direction indicator or DI. |
| Vertical speed indicator is | a highly sensitive barometer, which shows an aircraft’s altitude above mean sea level by measuring atmospheric pressure. |
| Magnetic compass is | shows the rate and direction of a turn. |
| Directional gyro (Heading indicator) is | an instrument used in an aircraft to display the speed of an aircraft (typically in knots) relative to the air mass in which the aircraft is flying. |
| Turn and slip indicator | a navigational instrument for finding directions. It is the main method of indicating the heading or flight direction of an aircraft. |
| Artificial horizon (Attitude indicator) is | a variometer (also known as a rate-of-climb indicator, a vertical speed indicator (VSI), or a vertical velocity indicator (VVI)) is an instrument in an aircraft used to inform the pilot of the rate of descent or climb. |
