attitude relative to the horizon. From this the pilot can tell whether the wings are level and if the aircraft nose is pointing above or below the horizon. This is a primary instrument for instrument flight and is also useful in conditions of poor visibility. Pilots are trained to use other instruments in combination should this instrument or its power fail. The airspeed indicator shows the aircraft’s speed (usually in knots ) relative to the surrounding air. It works by measuring the ram-air pressure

Pack of Flight Instruments It seems as if though cockpits of modern jets are becoming more and more intricate and complex. The have added greatly to the primary flight instruments and have filled vast amounts of space in cockpits. It is still very relevant to the aircraft for which it is designed‚ but lets get back to basics. Lets cut out all of the excess and focus on a few primary instruments‚ instruments that one would be guaranteed to find no matter the plane. These are the instruments that

However‚ in the regulations it also mentioned that an aircraft always have to fly according to the Visual Flight Rules (VFR) or Instrument Flight Rules (IFR)3. In the control zone rules Luton is in under Class D air space. In the Rule of the Air (RotA)‚ it is mentioned that if the air space is in Class D then it needs to follow Visual Flying Rule (VFR). The VFR flight is allowed to be at or below 3000 ft amsl at a speed
