Quadrantal Rule - system of cruising altitudes used in UK uncontrolled airspace below FL250.
[edit] Quadrantal rule
(This rule applies to IFR flights in the UK outside controlled airspace and is advised for VFR flights above 3,000 ft AMSL outside controlled airspace; few other countries adopt this rule) Flight levels are 500 ft apart, ...

This is operated by the red control. At close to sea level altitudes, the mixture shown be maintained in the fully rich position.
During the whole quadrant from A to C, the nose is above the horizon. The airplane is climbing and slowing down. Therefore C is the point with the highest altitude and the lowest airspeed.
It consisted of segmented quadrants broacasting Morse Code "A" (dot-dash) and "N" (dash-dot) signals in opposing quadrants so that pilots could orient their position relative to a "beam" broadcasting a steady tone, ...
Rudder trim - a standard feature controlled by a knob on the pedestal below the throttle quadrant - can be used to center the slip/skid ball during climbs and in long descents.
Using heat-sensitive infrared- or thermal-imaging cameras, similar to those used by police and military aircraft, Forward Vision's EVS-100 and EVS-600 offer pilots the equivalent of a real-world view of the forward quadrant, ...
