ARTIFICIAL HORIZON - A vacuum-powered panel instrument that displays pitch and roll movements about the lateral and longitudinal axes; aka Attitude Indicator.
Artificial Horizon. An instrument, operated by a gyroscope, devised to keep an indicator permanently parallel with the true horizon and thus show the pilot the attitude of his aeroplane when flying in cloud or bad visibility.
Artificial Horizon
An instrument which enables a pilot to determine the attitude of the aircraft in relation to the horizon, i.e. whether the aircraft is nose-up, nose-down, or banking left or right.
* Artificial Horizon Errors
Of course, if you only make half a turn, the discrepancies don't average to zero, and the attitude indicator will be slightly inaccurate for a while.
Artificial Horizon The master instrument, operated by gyroscope to give the pilot information about aircraft attitude - essential when flying in poor visibility or at night.

The artificial horizon depicts your aircraft's attitude in relation to the earth's horizon. Your wings are represented by the two longer lines at the center of the instrument, the dot between them symbolizing the aircraft's nose.
top row: airspeed, artificial horizon, altimeter.
bottom row: radio compass, direction indicator, vertical speed.
This standard was later refined to produce the "Basic T" pattern.
Instruments, and Avionics ADF Automatic Direction Finder - an instrument in an airplane which displays the relative bearing to an NDB (see below) -- it essentially "points at the NDB" AI Attitude Indicator (also known as AH - Artificial Horizon) - an ...
Enhanced artificial horizon with pitch and roll information. It is part of a flight director system.
ADT: Approved Departure Time
AFB: Air Force Base
AFCS: Automatic Flight Control System. It is an advanced autopilot.
The attitude indicator (called the artificial horizon in former years) has a vertical gyro as its spin axis. They do precess but it has an erection system activated by gravity that resets it back to the vertical.
The artificial horizon and directional gyro are vacuum operated and are located in the center of the left-hand instrument panel. The vacuum gauge is located on the upper left hand instrument panel.
Having a good artificial horizon and altitude indicator in the aircraft helps, but you must look outside because of the terrain and learn to assess your attitude.

AI: Attitude Indicator; an instrument that provides an 'artificial horizon' display, permitting the pilot to keep the airplane right side up when the 'real' horizon is not visible due to weather (or wearing a hood) ...
ADI - attitude deviation indicator. An advanced type of artificial horizon, part of a flight director system providing pitch and roll information and commands.
Next, the instructor will point out the attitude dials and gauges, including an artificial horizon, directional gyro (DG), vertical speed indicator (VSI), altimeter, and compass.
The altimeter is mounted in the upper right corner of the instrument panel.
Attitude Indicator
The attitude indicator (artificial horizon) is mounted just to the left of the altimeter. This is an electrically driven gyroscopic instrument.
