The attitude indicator refers to the blue and brown instrument which depicts the airplane’s position relative to the earth (pitch and roll). More on that later… How the Attitude Indicator Works A gyro, sadly, doesn’t refer to the delicious Greek dish, but rather a device consisting of a wheel mounted so it can spin rapidly about an axis that is itself free to alter in direction. A gyroscopic instrument means this instrument works based on a gyroscope (“gyro”). The three gyroscopic instruments are the attitude indicator, the heading indicator, and the turn coordinator. What are the Three Gyroscopic Instruments Put your physics hat on, we are going back to the basics. Well fear not, today we are going to learn what these three instruments are, how they work, and what to do if one fails. But do you know how they work? Most pilots don’t or have completely forgotten. The gyroscopic instruments are three of the most important in your panel. Without them, instrument flying would be impossible.
