cockpit instruments
Cockpit instruments are essential tools in an aircraft that provide pilots with critical information about the flight. These instruments display data such as altitude, speed, heading, and engine performance, helping pilots make informed decisions during flight. Common instruments include the altimeter, airspeed indicator, and artificial horizon.
In modern aircraft, cockpit instruments are often integrated into a digital display known as a glass cockpit. This system enhances situational awareness by presenting data in a clear and organized manner. Additionally, many aircraft are equipped with autopilot systems that can assist in managing flight parameters based on the information provided by these instruments.
