ATTITUDE INDICATOR
The Attitude indicator is also called the aircraft horizon or the gyro horizon. This flight instrument depicts the position of the airplane in relation to the horizon. It shows weather the wings are level. And if the plane is climbing or descending. Or flying straight and level. A pair of wings represents the attitude of the aircraft. Behind the aircraft is a ball. The top is blue representing the sky. And the bottom half is usually brown representing the ground. As the airplane manoeuvres in the air. The pair of wings will show the degree of bank and pitch attitude
The attitude indicator is a Gyroscopic instrument. And it uses a Gyroscope to stabilize a horizon bar which stays parallel to the natural horizon. The airplane in the center of the attitude indicator will pitch and bank around the horizon bar to indicate the airplane current attitude relative to the horizon.
