2. AOA (Angle of Attack) Indicator
The AOA indicator is an instrument that shows the angle of attack of the aircraft. In order to generate lift, the jet needs to have a positive angle of attack or fly at a positive angle into the relative wind (airflow).

3. Airspeed Indicator
The airspeed indicator shows the aircraft's airspeed in hundreds of knots. When the red needle is on the "4", you going 400 knots.

6. HUD (heads-up-display)
A glass panel in front of the cockpit that shows important navigation and weapons information.
7. ICP (Integrated Control Panel)
Panel used for weapons release, landing, navigation and Communications.
8. Oil Pressure Indicator
The Oil pressure indicator displays engine oil pressure, ranging from 0 to 100 psi (pounds per square inch).
9. RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) Indicator
The RPM indicator displays the engine revolutions per minute. RPM is expressed as a percentage from 0% to 100%
10. Nozzle Position Indicator
This instrument displays the position of the engine nozzle. The indicator will be mostly open at idle, closed at Mil power (100% thrust), and fully open at full after burner.
11. VVI (Vertical Velocity Indicator)
The vertical Velocity Indicator is an instrument that shows your rate of climb or descent in feet per minute.
12. ADI (Attitude Direction Indicator)
The instrument that displays the aircraft pitch and control.
13. CONTROLSTICK:
The F-16C/F users "fly-by-wire" Technology on an F16 the stick does not control cables that are linked to the surface, but inputs to a computer which in turn controls servos or hydraulics for the flaps and rudder, etc...
14. HSI (Horizontal Situation Indicator)
The HSI is a round moving dial that shows the aircraft's compass heading. When the aircraft turns, the dial moves to indicate the change in aircraft heading.
15. ALTIMETER
The altimeter shows the height of the aircraft above MSL(Mean Sea Level) |
