Which instrument incorporates flight command bars to provide pitch and roll cues?

• A. Attitude Director Indicator
• B. Attitude Indicator
• C. AHRS
• D. Compass

Answer: (A)

Flight command bars are flight director cues that appear on the Attitude Director Indicator. This instrument combines the attitude display—showing pitch and roll relative to the horizon—with the director bars that indicate the desired flight path. The pilot uses those bars to steer the aircraft toward the commanded attitude, aligning the current attitude with the target by adjusting pitch and bank accordingly.

Other instruments show attitude or heading, but they don’t include the flight director bars that provide those explicit pitch and roll cues. The Attitude Indicator shows only the horizon and miniature airplane, the AHRS supplies attitude information to multiple displays, and the Compass provides heading information.
