    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.

  3. Altimeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Altimeter

    The greater the altitude, the lower the pressure. When a barometer is supplied with a nonlinear calibration so as to indicate altitude, the instrument is a type of altimeter called a pressure altimeter or barometric altimeter. A pressure altimeter is the altimeter found in most aircraft, and skydivers use wrist-mounted versions for similar ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_post

    The position of the sound post inside a violin is critical, and moving it by very small amounts (as little as 0.5mm or 0.25mm, or less) can make a big difference in the sound quality and loudness of an instrument. Specialized tools for standing up or moving a sound post are commercially available.

    On August 30, 1929, Doolittle and Kollsman took the altimeter on a test flight in a Vought O2U, a two seat biplane, with Kollsman holding the altimeter in his lap. [1] [12] [13] Doolittle said the altimeter "performed perfectly", with accuracy an order of magnitude better than other altimeters of the day. [12]

  8. Position error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position_error

    The ideal position for a static port is a position where the local air pressure in flight is always equal to the pressure remote from the aircraft, however there is no position on an aircraft where this ideal situation exists for all angles of attack. When deciding on a position for a static port, aircraft designers attempt to find a position ...

    Left hand finger patterns, after George Bornoff First position fingerings. While beginning violin students often rely on tapes or markers placed on the fingerboard for correct placement of the left-hand fingers, more proficient and experienced players place their fingers on the right spots without such indications but from practice and experience.
