Instrument Panel
An instrument panel, also known as a cockpit, is the area in an aircraft where the pilot operates the controls and monitors the performance of the aircraft. It typically includes flight instruments, navigation instruments, communication equipment, and engine controls. The flight instruments provide information on the aircraft's altitude, airspeed, heading, and attitude. The navigation instruments provide information on the aircraft's position and direction of flight. The communication equipment allows the pilot to communicate with air traffic control and other aircraft. The engine controls allow the pilot to adjust the power and other settings of the aircraft's engines.
