Essay. Attach some pictures.


1. Describe the importance of Flight Instrument.
 It conducts safe flight operations and it is important that the pilot have a
basic understanding of their operation. The basic flight
instruments required for operation under visual flight rules (VFR) are
airspeed indicator (ASI), altimeter, and magnetic direction indicator.

2. What are the different types of Flight Instrument and their uses?
The different types of flight instrument are the following;
 Altimeter A sensitive altimeter is an aneroid barometer that measures the
absolute pressure of the ambient air and displays it in terms of feet or
meters above a selected pressure level.

 airspeed indicator /airspeed gauge - is a flight instrument indicating


the airspeed of an aircraft in kilometers per hour (km/h), knots (kn), miles
per hour (MPH) and/or meters per second (m/s).

 A Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) - The VSI is a differential pressure


gauge that compares free-flowing static air pressure in the diaphragm
with restricted static air pressure around the diaphragm in the instrument
case.

 Attitude Indicator - The attitude indicator, with its miniature aircraft


and horizon bar, displays a picture of the attitude of the aircraft. The
relationship of the miniature aircraft to the horizon bar is the same as the
relationship of the real aircraft to the actual horizon. The instrument gives
an instantaneous indication of even the smallest changes in attitude.

 Heading Indicator - The heading indicator is fundamentally a


mechanical instrument designed to facilitate the use of the magnetic
compass. Errors in the magnetic compass are numerous, making straight
flight and precision turns to headings difficult to accomplish, particularly
in turbulent air. A heading indicator displays headings based on a 360°
azimuth, with the final zero omitted.

 Turn Indicators - The first gyroscopic aircraft instrument was the turn
indicator in the needle and ball, or turn-and-bank indicator, which has
more recently been called a turn-and-slip indicator. The inclinometer in
the instrument is a black glass ball sealed inside a curved glass tube that
is partially filled with a liquid for damping. This ball measures the
relative strength of the force of gravity and the force of inertia caused by
a turn.

3. What is the difference between dynamic pressure and static pressure?

 Static pressure is the pressure you have if the fluid isn't moving or if you
are moving with the fluid. Air would press against you equally in all
directions. Dynamic pressure is the pressure of a fluid that results from its
motion. It is the difference between the total pressure and static pressure.
