Flight Training Video Series:

#10. Aircraft Instruments

Almost every VFR aircraft maneuver is done in relation to the outside horizon and the inside instruments. The instruments show the rate or status of key flight phenomena. There's a lot of instruments in the panel, and the pilot needs to interpret every last one of them - and apply the results to the task at hand. A small aircraft may have only 3 or four flight instruments; a large aircraft may have hundreds. The principles are similar, and this video shows the student pilot how to interpret each instrument successfully and quickly.

ATP's Flight Training Video Series, based on the Flight Training Manual, has been created by experienced flight instructors and airline pilots, and is especially useful for the primary phase of flight training, both for the Recreational Licence, and the Private Pilot licence.
