26 Aircraft Cockpits
2.501 Indicated Airspeed ( IAS) Indicator
The IAS indicator shows the aircraft’s Indicated Airspeed (IAS).
The scale ranges from 0 to 800 kts.
IAS Indicator
Altimeter
2.502 Altimeter
The altimeter shows the aircraft’s altitude above sea level
(MSL), from 0 to 25,000 meters. The inner ring and short
needle show the altitude in thousands of meters. The outer
ring and long needle show it in hundreds of feet. Add the two
readings to obtain the exact altitude.
2.503 Landing System Signal Panel
The landing system signal panel shows the deployment status of the landing gear,
flaps, Leading Edge Flaps (LEF), and speed brakes. The
red light in the center illuminates when any of the landing
gear is not locked in the position of the landing gear
handle (up or down). The light flashes if one or more
landing gear is locked up but the handle is down, or if the
LEF are down but the handle is up.
Landing System Signal Panel
2.504 Combined AOA/G-Meter
The combined AOA/G-meter simultaneously displays the aircraft’s angle of attack
and current g-load. The pointer on the left shows the
current AOA in degrees. The long needle on the right
side of the instrument shows the current g-load. The
small needle indicates the maximum g-load encountered
during the flight.
Combined AOA/G-Meter
2.505 Attitude Director Indicator (ADI)
The ADI simultaneously shows current flight attitude and course guidance
information. The numeric tape in the center shows the aircraft’s current pitch and
bank angle. The horizontal lines remain parallel with the horizon at all times. The
turn-and-slip indicator at the bottom indicates the current sideslip. As always, apply
rudder toward the sliding ball (also called “stepping on the ball”) to center it.
h“Step on the ball” in the turn-and-slip indicator (apply rudder toward
it) to center it and correct sideslip.
The horizontal Pitch Steering Bar in the center of the instrument indicates the
correct pitch angle to reach the next waypoint. Likewise, the Course Steering Bar
leans left or right, indicating the correct course to the next waypoint. When both
bars are centered, the aircraft is on course.
