Displays picture of craft relative to the real horizon
Turn and bank indicator
An instrument that shows the degree of bank and slip and skid (yaw)
Standard rate turn
Three degrees per second (2 minutes = 360 degrees)
Lift
The force that supports the weight of an aircraft
Drag
The air friction resistance to an aircraft
Thrust
The force used to move the aircraft forward through the air
Ailerons
The control surfaces on the wings which are used to rotate the aircraft around the horizontal axis. (roll)
Elevator
The control surface behind the stabilizer that controls the vertical axis of the craft. (climb/dive-pitch)
Rudder
The control surface that controls the longitudinal axis of the craft. (slip and skid)
Fuselage
The main center structure of an aircraft that provides the mount for the other components
ILS
Instrumented landing system
DME
Distance measuring equipment
Flaps
The control surfaces on the rear of the inner parts of the wings which are used to increase the efficiency of the airfoil and increase drag to allow the craft to fly at lower speeds
