  Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Common Cross-Check Errors › Instrument Interpretation

  airspeed indicator reads 250 knots. As the performance capabilities of the aircraft are learned, a pilot interprets the instrument indications appropriately in terms of the attitude of the aircraft. If the pitch attitude is to be determined, the airspeed indicator ... order to control aircraft attitude during the maneuver. It is the two fundamental flight skills, instrument cross-check and instrument interpretation, that provide the smooth and seamless control necessary for basic instrument flight as discussed at the beginning…

  Chapter 7, Section II: Airplane Basic Flight Maneuvers › Turns › Unusual Attitude Recovery Protection

  attitudes are some of the most hazardous situations for a pilot to be in. Without proper recovery training on instrument interpretation and aircraft control, a pilot can quickly aggravate an abnormal flight attitude into a potentially fatal accident. Analog gauges…

  important tasks first. Keep the pitch attitude relatively constant, and more time can be devoted to cross-check and instrument interpretation. During recovery from steep turns to straight-and-level flight, elevator and power control must be coordinated with bank ... analyze unless rates of entry and recovery are consistent with the level of proficiency in the three basic instrument flying skills. Climbing and Descending Turns To execute climbing and descending turns, combine the technique used in straight climbs and descents…

  problem here may not be entirely due to cross-check error. It may be related to difficulties with instrument interpretation. Uncertainty about reading the heading indicator (interpretation) or uncertainty because of inconsistency in rolling out of turns (control) may cause…
