  2. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    In aviation, a variometer – also known as a rate of climb and descent indicator (RCDI), rate-of-climb indicator, vertical speed indicator (VSI), or vertical velocity indicator (VVI) – is one of the flight instruments in an aircraft used to inform the pilot of the rate of descent or climb. [1]

  3. Speed and rate of climb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rate_of_climb

    The RoC in an aircraft is indicated with a vertical speed indicator (VSI) or instantaneous vertical speed indicator (IVSI). The temporal rate of decrease in altitude is referred to as the rate of descent (RoD) or sink rate. A negative rate of climb corresponds to a positive rate of descent: RoD = −RoC.

    The machmeter is used to show the ratio of true airspeed in relation to the speed of sound. Most supersonic aircraft are limited as to the maximum Mach number they can fly, which is known as the "Mach limit". The Mach number is displayed on a machmeter as a decimal fraction.

    The cockpit of a Slingsby T-67 Firefly two-seat light airplane.The flight instruments are visible on the left of the instrument panel. Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with data about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed, vertical speed, heading and much more other crucial information in flight.

    In older glass cockpit aircraft and those with mechanical instrumentation, an integrated TCAS display including an instantaneous vertical speed indicator (IVSI) may replace the mechanical IVSI, which only indicates the rate at which the aircraft is descending or climbing.

    A pilot uses the VDA, and ground speed, to compute a rate of descent (from a table found in the U.S. Terminal Procedures Publication), which is flown using the Vertical velocity indicator. [1]: 4–22, 4–23 Aircraft approved for LNAV/VNAV minimums include the Boeing 737NG, 767, 777, the Airbus A300 and some ATRs. [1]: 4–26 [2]
