flight Instruments vs. Avionics An aircraft’s flight deck, with its collection of displays and controls, is a wonder of engineering. Two terms that are often heard are “flight instruments” and “avionics.” For a future pilot, a thorough knowledge of these systems is essential.

The latest iteration of its proprietary avionics package is the Primus Epic Integrated Flight Deck. The package features an interactive navigation system (INAV), which allows a pilot to select and click flight plan-specific options within the flight management system (FMS). The Apex is offered on the Pilatus PC-12 NG.

IFR Instrument Flight Rules IFR is the set of rules that allow pilots to fly by reference to instruments in the flight deck when flying by visual reference is not safe. IMC – Instrument Meteorological Conditions IMC refers to meteorological conditions that require pilots to fly under IFR.

Pursuing my schooling on computer-aided flight plans, usually generated by an electronic flight bag (EFB—see Are You Current with the New Airman Certification Standards? for my ACS motivation), has led me to an FAA advisory circular, Use of Flight Deck Displays of Digital Weather and Aeronautical Information.

It’s critical for pilots, especially those flying in instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) , to know how to identify these errors and what secondary instruments can be used as a back-up. The readings on the three instruments won’t be as accurate, but it’s better to use than dealing with a full failure.
