Ask an Explainer
Q:
What is the name of the instrument that tells a pilot what angle he is at in the air, keeping him level?
A:
That instrument is called an attitude indicator. It helps the pilot line up the horizon line. He can use it to tell if his wings are level and if his nose is pointing above or below the horizon.
