Difference between Flight instruments and Pitot tube

Flight instruments vs. Pitot tube

Flight instruments are the instruments in the cockpit of an aircraft that provide the pilot with information about the flight situation of that aircraft, such as altitude, airspeed and direction. A Pitot tube, also known as Pitot probe, is a flow measurement device used to measure fluid flow velocity.

Similarities between Flight instruments and Pitot tube

Flight instruments and Pitot tube have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Airspeed, Airspeed indicator, Altimeter, Altitude, Indicated airspeed, Knot (unit), Pitot-static system, Static pressure, True airspeed, Variometer.

Airspeed

Airspeed is the speed of an aircraft relative to the air.

Airspeed indicator

The airspeed indicator or airspeed gauge is an instrument used in an aircraft to display the craft's airspeed, typically in knots, to the pilot.

Altimeter

An altimeter or an altitude meter is an instrument used to measure the altitude of an object above a fixed level.

Altitude

Altitude or height (sometimes known as depth) is defined based on the context in which it is used (aviation, geometry, geographical survey, sport, atmospheric pressure, and many more).

Indicated airspeed

Indicated airspeed (IAS) is the airspeed read directly from the airspeed indicator (ASI) on an aircraft, driven by the pitot-static system.

Knot (unit)

The knot is a unit of speed equal to one nautical mile per hour, exactly 1.852 km/h (approximately 1.15078 mph).

Pitot-static system

A pitot-static system is a system of pressure-sensitive instruments that is most often used in aviation to determine an aircraft's airspeed, Mach number, altitude, and altitude trend.

Static pressure

In fluid mechanics the term static pressure has several uses.

True airspeed

The true airspeed (TAS; also KTAS, for knots true airspeed) of an aircraft is the speed of the aircraft relative to the airmass in which it is flying.

Variometer

A variometer – also known as a rate of climb and descent indicator (RCDI), rate-of-climb indicator, vertical speed indicator (VSI), or vertical velocity indicator (VVI) – is one of the flight instruments in an aircraft used to inform the pilot of the rate of descent or climb.
