Aircraft instruments are devices that provide a great amount of flight pertinent information for the pilot to safely fly. While many instruments may convey information such as spent fuel and current altitude, there are also many instruments that are used for measuring and indicating the mechanical movement of components, instruments, or the aircraft as a whole. These instruments may vary in what components that they measure, and this information can be very useful for a pilot during flight operations. In this blog, we will discuss some of the main aircraft mechanical movement indication instruments, such as tachometers, the synchroscope, accelerometers, and stall warning and angle of attack (AOA) indicators.
