  • Summary

  • The sources provide an overview of flight instruments for pilots, covering both pitot-static and gyroscopic systems. Pitot-static instruments measure air pressure and are used to determine altitude, airspeed, and vertical speed. The sources explain the principles of operation, common errors, and maintenance requirements. Gyroscopic instruments, such as the attitude indicator and heading indicator, rely on the gyroscope's rigidity in space to provide information about the aircraft's orientation. The sources discuss the principles of gyroscopic operation and the importance of regular inspections for maintaining accuracy. The information is presented for students learning about flight instruments and to help pilots understand how these systems work and their limitations.
