Which indicator primarily provides attitude information to the pilot?

• A. Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator
• B. Electronic Horizon Stabilization Indicator
• C. Horizontal Stabilization Indicator
• D. Main Flight Data Indicator

Answer: (A)

Attitude information means the aircraft’s orientation relative to the horizon (pitch and roll). The instrument that directly shows this orientation to the pilot is the attitude indicator, known in modern systems as the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator. It presents the artificial horizon and the aircraft’s bank and pitch cues, giving immediate, intuitive feedback on how the airplane is tilted and pitched. Other instruments serve different purposes: one groups navigation and stabilization functions and mainly shows bearing or course; another provides general flight data such as airspeed, altitude, and vertical speed rather than attitude. So the Electronic Attitude Direction Indicator is the one that primarily provides attitude information.
