Attitude Heading Reference System: Combines information from a Magnetic Heading Sensor with self-contained aircraft acceleration data to provide attitude, heading, position, body inertial velocity, and body inertial acceleration.
Attitude (Flying). The inclination of the axes of an aeroplane to the relative airstream.
Attitude (Ground). The inclination of the axes of an aeroplane relative to the ground.
attitude - The position of an aircraft as determined by the relationship between its axes and some reference object such as the horizon.
automated system - Performance of an operation by a mechanical or computerized method.

Nose attitude
During a straight and level stall the nose high attitude is a good indication of an approaching stall, but remember that using flaps lowers the nose and an aircraft can be made to stall in any nose attitude.
Attitude flying on the other hand typically takes less than 1/2 second for the aircraft attitude to change.
Attitude
The nose position (up or down) and wings level or bank (left or right) in relation to the visual horizon and the attitude indicator
AVGAS ...
ATTITUDE
The primary aircraft angles in the state vector; pitch, roll, and yaw;
ATTITUDE INDICATOR
A vacuum powered instrument which displays pitch and roll movement about the lateral and longitudinal axes.
The attitude of an aircraft refers to it's relationship to the ground. When in a level attitude, the longitudinal centreline of the aircraft is approximately parallel to the earth's surface.
Pitch Attitude + Incidence = Angle of Climb + Angle of Attack
This relationship is illustrated in figure 2.2. Perhaps the simplest case is straight and level flight at cruise airspeed.

ADI - Attitude direction indicator
ADS - Automatic dependent surveillance.
AES - Aircraft Earth station.
AFCS - Automatic flight control system.
AFD - Adaptive flight displays.
High pitch attitude is not an absolute indication of proximity to a stall. Some airplanes are capable of vertical flight with a corresponding low angle of attack. Most airplanes are quite capable of stalling at a level or near level pitch attitude.
ADI: Attitude Deviation Indicator. 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.
Both of these actions can be partially accomplished by moving the cyclic control to the rear and changing the attitude of the rotor disk with relation to the relative wind.
In broad terms, an altimeter is a flight instrument because it provides the pilot with information regarding the aircraft's attitude, direction, altitude, and speed.
trimmed flight speed and pitch attitude.
If the LD angle is increased the plane will take on a more nose up pitch attitude,
whereas with a decreased LD angle the plane will take on a more nose down
pitch attitude.
Intermeshing rotors cause pronounced pitch attitude change in response to collective pitch change, ...
The term controls is a general term used to distinguish the means provided for operating the devices used to control speed, direction of flight and attitude of the aircraft.
32. Cotter Pins.-Must be on every nut.

One feature that caught Cessna's corporate attention is the G1000's Attitude Heading and Reference Systems (AHRS), which uses a system of algorithms to calculate all three axes of flight data.
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.
After you have completed the first flight of your aircraft, your next challenge is to get acquainted with your airplane in its various usual (and unusual) flight attitudes and landing conditions so that you feel fully comfortable in your aircraft and ...
Whenever the attitude of the airplane changes in flight (with respect to the ground or other fixed object), it will rotate about one or more of these axes. Think of these axes as imaginary axles around which the airplane turns like a wheel.
The aircraft is kept in the normal attitude and the horizontal distance between the nose wheel and main wheel axle is measured. The reactions at the three wheels are noted accurately for the following three configurations : ...
CRAB - A VFR Instructor's attitude on an IFR day.
DEAD RECKONING - You reckon correctly, if you're a Navy carrier pilot, or you are.
DESTINATION - Geographical location 30 minutes beyond the pilot's bladder saturation point.
Intentional maneuvers involving an abrupt change in an aircraft's altitude, and abnormal attitude, or abnormal acceleration not needed for normal flight.
difficulty in rotating to take-off attitude;
increased stall or minimum flying speed against full up elevator;
extra tail downforce requires more lift from wing resulting in greater induced drag. This means higher fuel consumption and reduced range; ...
