What does the Airspeed Indicator (ASI) measure?

• The aircraft's altitude above sea level

• The aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• The aircraft's pitch and bank

• The aircraft's heading based on magnetic north

What is the function of the Attitude Indicator (AI)?

• It shows the plane's pitch and bank

• It measures the aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• It provides the altitude reading above sea level

• It shows the aircraft's heading based on magnetic north

What information does the Altimeter provide?

• The rate at which the aircraft is climbing or descending

• The aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• The aircraft's pitch and bank

• The altitude reading, showing how high the aircraft is flying above sea level

What does the Turn Coordinator (TC) indicate?

• The aircraft's altitude above sea level

• The aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• The turn rate and turn quality of the aircraft

• The rate at which the aircraft is climbing or descending

What is the purpose of the Heading Indicator (HI)?

• It measures the aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• It shows the plane's pitch and bank

• It provides the altitude reading above sea level

• It shows the aircraft's heading based on magnetic north

What does the Vertical Speed Indicator (VSI) display?

• The aircraft's altitude above sea level

• The aircraft's speed in relation to the surrounding air

• The aircraft's pitch and bank

• The rate at which the aircraft is climbing or descending
