31. Part of an Airplane

32. Instruments Attitude Indicator Altimeter Vertical Speed Indicator Heading Indicator Turn Coordinator Airspeed Indicator

33. Attitude Indicator • Displays an aircrafts pitch and bank with a gyro stabilized bar which remains parallel to the horizon.

34. Turn Coordinator • Detects motion about the roll and yaw axes of an aircraft by utilizing the property of gyroscopic precession.

35. Heading Indicator • A gyro that gives a more stable indication of an aircrafts heading than a magnetic compass.

36. Airspeed Indicator • A pressure gauge that is calibrated to convert the difference betweenimpact (or ram) air pressure due to an aircrafts motion andthe local static air pressure into a reading of velocity thought the air mass.

37. Altimeter • Tells you your altitude by measuring air pressure.

38. Vertical Speed Indicator • Measures the rate of change of air pressure as the plane climbs or descends.
