Which instrument is used for flight attitude information among the gyroscopic instruments?

• A. Airspeed Indicator
• B. Attitude Indicator
• C. Vertical Speed Indicator
• D. Altimeter

Answer: (B)

Attitude information is provided by the attitude indicator. This gyro-based instrument gives a stable reference that shows how the aircraft is oriented relative to the horizon. The horizon line tilts to reflect bank (roll) and moves up or down to show pitch, while the small airplane symbol stays fixed. This makes it the primary source for attitude among the gyroscopic instruments.

Other listed instruments measure speed, climb/descent rate, or altitude, not orientation. The airspeed indicator uses dynamic pressure to show how fast you’re moving through the air; the vertical speed indicator shows how quickly you’re climbing or descending; the altimeter shows your altitude based on static pressure.
