Engine Instruments
What gauge shows the lubrication pressure as it is circulated through the engine by a pump?
Oil Pressure
Tells the pilot the indicated airspeed in knots.
Airspeed Indicator
If the gyro is parallel to the horizon, it is known as the?
The Artificial Horizon
How high would the mercury barometer stand tall at sea level?
29.92 inches of Mercury
What does GPS stand for?
Global Positioning System
What displays engine speed in revolutions per minute?
The Tachometer
This instrument is also known as the "rate of climb".
The VVI or Vertical Velocity Indicador
A basic tool for navigation, provides directional information to the pilot similar to the way a magnetic compass does.
Heading Indicator
Small hollow tube usually located on the wing.
Where is the pilot tube?
Airspeed indicator red line.
Never-exceed speed.
This helps the pilot take corrective measures to avoid possible engine damage due to overheating.
Oil Temperature
Able to tell the elevation by monitoring the pressure outside the aircraft, compared to the pressure at sea level.
The Altimeter
Instrument that shows banking information about the plane.
The Turn & Bank Indicator or Turn Coordinator
How does the gyro-powered Instrument work, using a small rotating wheel, called a rotor, mounted on an axle?
The rotor will maintain its position in space while spinning at very high speed.
What is an Inclinometer?
A curved, liquid-filled glass tube with a ball on the inside, shown when the airplane is slipping or skidding in a turn.
