  so that any single failure does not deprive the pilot of the ability to safely conclude the flight. Gyroscopic instruments are crucial for instrument flight; therefore, they are powered by separate electrical or pneumatic sources. Pneumatic Systems ... wheel. On many aircraft this stream of air is obtained by evacuating the instrument case with a vacuum source and allowing filtered air to flow into the case through a nozzle to spin the wheel.

  Chapter 5: Flight Instruments › Gyroscopic Systems › Electrical Systems

  Electrical Systems Many general aviation aircraft that use pneumatic attitude indicators use electric rate indicators and/or the reverse. Some instruments identify their power source on their dial, but it is extremely important that pilots consult the POH/AFM to determine ... instruments to know what action to take in the event of an instrument failure. Direct current (D.C.) electrical instruments are available in 14- or 28-volt models, depending upon the electrical system in the aircraft…

  Electronic Flight Instrument Systems Modern technology has introduced into aviation a new method of displaying flight instruments, such as electronic flight instrument systems, integrated flight deck displays, and others. For the purpose of the practical test standards ... attitude, heading and trim and trend information. Glass flight decks (a term coined to describe electronic flight instrument systems) are becoming more widespread as cost falls and dependability continually increases. These systems provide many advantages such as being lighter…

  Chapter 8: Helicopter Attitude Instrument Flying › Instrument Flight › Instrument Cross-Check

  Instrument Flight To achieve smooth, positive control of the helicopter during instrument flight, three fundamental skills must be developed. They are instrument cross-check, instrument interpretation, and aircraft control. Instrument Cross-Check Cross-checking, sometimes ... referred to as scanning, is the continuous and logical observation of instruments for attitude and performance information. In attitude instrument flying, an attitude is maintained by reference to the instruments, which produces the desired result in performance…

  rather than outside visual references. Today’s aircraft come equipped with analog and/or digital instruments. Analog instrument systems are mechanical and operate with numbers representing directly measurable quantities, such as a watch with a sweep second hand ... contrast, digital instrument systems are electronic and operate with numbers expressed in digits. Although more manufacturers are providing aircraft with digital instrumentation, analog instruments remain more prevalent. This section acquaints the pilot with the use of analog…
