The Attitude Director Indicator provides which type of cockpit information?

• A. Attitude information with flight director cues
• B. Altitude and vertical speed
• C. Directional heading
• D. Airspeed and altitude

Answer: (A)

The Attitude Director Indicator provides attitude information together with flight director cues. It shows the aircraft’s pitch and bank just like an attitude indicator, but it also overlays guidance cues from the flight director that indicate how to move the controls to follow a commanded flight path. These cues help you fly the desired attitude or path, whether you’re hand-flying or using autopilot.

This instrument doesn’t show altitude or vertical speed (that’s the altimeter and vertical speed indicator), nor does it provide a heading readout (the heading from a directional indicator). It’s specifically about attitude plus the guidance cues to steer toward a commanded attitude or flight path.
