#1
Which instrument is used to measure aircraft altitude?
Altimeter
ExplanationMeasures the aircraft's height above a reference point, typically sea level.
#2
What does the VSI (Vertical Speed Indicator) measure?
Rate of climb or descent
ExplanationIndicates the vertical speed of the aircraft, whether climbing or descending.
#3
Which of the following is an example of primary flight display instrument?

#6
Which instrument is used to measure the rate of turn of an aircraft?
Turn coordinator
ExplanationIndicates the rate at which the aircraft is turning.
#7
Which instrument is used to measure the temperature outside the aircraft?
OAT gauge (Outside Air Temperature)
ExplanationIndicates the temperature of the air surrounding the aircraft.
#8
What does the Machmeter measure in an aircraft?
Speed
ExplanationMeasures the aircraft's speed as a multiple of the speed of sound.
#9
What is the purpose of a Turn and Slip Indicator in an aircraft?
To show the aircraft's rate of turn and slip
ExplanationProvides information on the aircraft's rate of turn and slip.
#10
Which instrument is used to measure the airspeed of an aircraft?
Airspeed indicator
