Which instrument indicates aircraft attitude relative to the horizon?
Correct Answer:
Attitude indicator
Explanation:
Attitude is the aircraft's orientation relative to the horizon, and the instrument that communicates this directly is the attitude indicator. It uses a gyro to present a sky-and-ground view with a tiny airplane symbol. When you bank, the horizon line tilts under the airplane; when you pitch, the horizon moves up or down relative to the airplane. This lets you tell at a glance whether you’re level, climbing, descending, or turning, even with no outside visual references. Other instruments don’t show orientation to the horizon: the altimeter measures altitude, the airspeed indicator shows speed, and the vertical speed indicator shows climb or descent rate.
