  Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying

  ground gives a level flight attitude at normal cruising speed. Engine Shut Down When shutting down the engine, note any abnormal instrument indications. Chapter 6, Section I: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying Attitude instrument flying is defined as the control ... aircraft’s spatial position by using instruments 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…

  abnormal sounds. While taxiing, the instrument should indicate turns in the correct direction, and precession should be normal. At idle power settings, the gyroscopic instruments using the vacuum system might not be up to operating speeds and precession might occur…

  result, acceptance of its indication should be considered with other instruments that indicate turn information. These include the already mentioned attitude and heading indicators, as well as the turn-and-slip indicator and turn coordinator. Turn Coordinator/Turn-and-Slip Indicator Both ... these instruments provide turn information. [Figure 6-12] The turn coordinator provides both bank rate and then turn rate once stabilized. The turn-and-slip indicator provides only turn rate. Figure 6-12. Turn coordinator and turn-and-slip indicator…

  Overcontrolling; • Improperly using power; and • Failing to adequately cross-check the pitch attitude instruments and take corrective action when pitch attitude change is needed. Bank Control Bank control is controlling the angle made by the wing and the horizon. After ... interpreting the bank attitude from the appropriate instruments, exert the necessary pressures to move the ailerons and roll the aircraft about the longitudinal axis. As illustrated in Figure 6-11, these instruments include: Figure 6-11. Bank instruments. • Attitude indicator…

  approached, adjust power to the new cruising power setting and further adjust pitch attitude to maintain altitude. The instrument indications for straight-and-level flight at normal cruise and during the transition from normal cruise to slow cruise are illustrated ... Figures 8-9 and 8-10. After the airspeed stabilizes at slow cruise, the attitude indicator shows an approximate level pitch attitude. The altimeter is the primary pitch instrument during level flight, whether flying at a constant airspeed or during…

  Control Instruments The control instruments depict immediate attitude and power changes. The instrument for attitude display is the attitude indicator. Power changes are directly reflected on the manifold pressure gauge and the tachometer. [Figure 6-25] All three of these ... instruments can reflect small adjustments, allowing for precise control of aircraft attitude. Figure 6-25. Control instruments. In addition, the configuration of the power indicators installed in each aircraft may vary to include the following types of power indicators: tachometers…
