Which term refers to the display that shows primary flight information such as attitude and airspeed?

• A. Pilotage
• B. PIREP
• C. Primary Flight Display
• D. Pitot pressure

Answer: (C)

The display that shows primary flight information like attitude and airspeed is the Primary Flight Display. In modern cockpits, the PFD is a central glass cockpit screen that combines the key flight instruments into one view. It presents the aircraft’s orientation with an artificial horizon, shows airspeed, and often includes other critical data such as altitude and vertical speed, all in a quick-to-read format. This centralized display helps you assess your flight status at a glance, which is essential for maintaining safe control of the airplane.

The other terms don’t describe a display. Pilotage refers to navigating by visual references on the ground, not a cockpit display. A PIREP is a Pilot Report about weather conditions, not a cockpit instrument. Pitot pressure is a measurement used by the air data system to determine airspeed, but it isn’t a display itself.
