An attitude indicator is an essential instrument in an aircraft's cockpit that displays the aircraft's orientation relative to the horizon. It shows whether the wings are level, climbing, or descending, helping pilots maintain control during flight. This instrument is crucial for safe navigation, especially in poor visibility conditions. The attitude indicator uses a gyroscope to provide accurate readings. It features a miniature airplane symbol that represents the aircraft, and a horizon bar that indicates the actual horizon. By interpreting this information, pilots can make informed decisions to ensure the aircraft remains stable and on course, enhancing overall flight safety.
