6. Altitude indicator displays the pitch and roll values contributing to
the current aircraft attitude. This is a mechanical device and may
not withstand the high angle maneuvering.
Note: The symbolic miniature aircraft remains static and is depicted as a
dot flanked by two bars on both sides. The bright white bar, known as the
relative horizon bar, moves dynamically. Importantly, when reading the
pitch angle, focus on the position of the aircraft symbol rather than the

7. Engine RPM indicator uses two needles: the short inner dial
indicating 0 – 50% RPM, the larger outer dial indicating from 50%
upward.
The landing gear lever is used to retract and extend the landing

ADF (automatic direction finder) identifies the relative bearing of

an aircraft from a radio beacon or known radio station.
It primarily works with Non-Directional Beacons (NDBs).
10. Altimeter. The altitude indicator employs a short needle to indicate
thousands of feet of altitude, while the long needle represents
hundreds of feet. In this specific example, the displayed altitude is
2,840 feet. It's important to note that the altimeter provides the air
pressure altitude, which often does not directly correspond to the
actual altitude above the terrain spread out beneath the aircraft.
