In the past decade*, aircraft instruments have largely relinquished their individual roles to become part of integrated systems tied to navigation and automatic flight control. Despite the apparent sophistication, the object of this development has been to simplify the pilot's task and reduce this workload.
This book takes a close - up look at the instruments and systems of today*. It traces a little of what led up to the present instrument displays, explains the purpose and operational principles of individual instruments, outlines the various information requirements during phases of a typical flight, and describes how the instruments acquire and display this information.
* The 1960's.
