How many aircraft instruments listed are controlled by gyroscopes?

  1. Two

  2. Three

  3. Four

  4. Five

The correct answer is: Three

Three aircraft instruments listed are controlled by gyroscopes. These instruments are the attitude indicator, heading indicator (or directional gyro), and turn coordinator. Gyroscopes provide stability and accuracy to these critical flight instruments, helping pilots maintain control of the aircraft, especially in challenging flight conditions. Knowing which instruments are gyroscopically controlled is essential for understanding how these instruments function and contribute to the safety of flight operations.
