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 ... attitude and have performance remain constant for a long period of time. These variables make it necessary to constantly check the instruments and make appropriate changes in the helicopter’s attitude. The actual technique may vary depending on what…

should help maintain the important instruments at the desired indications, which is also true in using the emergency panel. Cross-checking is mandatory in instrument flying. In visual flight, a level attitude can be maintained by outside references ... However, even then the altimeter must be checked to determine if altitude is being maintained. Due to human error, instrument error, and airplane performance differences in various atmospheric and loading conditions, it is impossible to establish an attitude…
- Chapter 6, Section II: Airplane Attitude Instrument Flying › Fundamental Skills of Attitude Instrument Flying › Instrument Cross-Check
Instrument Cross-Check The first fundamental skill is cross-checking (also call “scanning”). Cross-checking is the continuous observation of the indications on the control and performance instruments. It is imperative that the new instrument pilot learn ... indications in order to control the attitude and performance of the aircraft. Due to the configuration of some glass panel displays, such as the Garmin G1000, one or more of the performance instruments may be located…

Instrument Installations & Markings Instrument Panels Instrument panels are usually made from sheet aluminum alloy and are painted a dark, nonglare color. They sometimes contain subpanels for easier access to the backs of instruments during maintenance. Instrument panels are usually shock mounted to absorb low-frequency, high-amplitude shocks. The mounts absorb most of the vertical and horizontal vibration but permit the instruments to operate under conditions of minor vibration. Bonding straps are used…
