Welcome to our up to date flight gallery.
In here we keep all our flight related articles.
For example – I have always had a love for flight instruments as they are mesmerising, puzzling and life-saving all in one!
- Watch the instruments dance together – they are never alone
- See the individual instruments below for a technical and representative descriptions
- Think of this instrument as measuring your pace through life.
- You can do it fast and not know anything or slow and enjoy the journey.
- Sometimes you will want and need to vary speeds according to your current situation.
- As with most speeds there is a time for the initial acceleration and there will be a maximum speed for you.
- The green arc represents your most comfortable pace and is what’s recommended in the “handbook”.
- The maximum and minimum limits of your speed are initially set in childhood but you may need to adjust them from time to time.
- Think of this instrument as measuring your balance through life.
- How do you see things? are they straight and level or angled most of the time?
- Sometimes you may want to steer clear of things carefully and honestly as the true you.
- After a coordinated turn you will want to get on the straight and level before your head starts spinning.
- When moving about violently, you could be having a turbulent, sickly time and may fall from the sky.
- A change of balance will involve getting support from knowledge, your family and friends and online support groups.
- Think of this instrument as measuring your emotional level throughout your life.
- What was the highest level? when were you the truly happiest? this is a clue to your best level.
- Also what were the lowest “altitudes” you can reach and why – this will be an indicator to change.
- Perhaps you haven’t explored either limit yet and are outside the range of “unknown unknowns”.
- Its usually the best case to try for a consistent level once you have detected it, this will be a sweet spot between high and low readings.
- As you set you “height” goal, remember that long term happiness may always be better than short term pleasure.
- Think of this instrument as measuring your adaptation and change throughout life.
- When you make a decision and follow it through, ensure it is a balanced approach.
- Work out what is the best and most optimum rate for changing your path, say for changing a habit.
- You may not have to change direction much, but a little to start with makes a huge difference later down the road.
- After the change, allow things to settle down, wings level, ball in the middle, then make further adjustments as needed.
- Long term directional stability changes bring more general happiness than jagged changes of movement.
- Think of this instrument as measuring your goals throughout life.
- You are trying to keep on a desired heading but maybe you are being deflected.
- Maybe you have to steer round things?
- After going around temporary things, you should get back on track and adjust the path to get there.
- After the change, keep progressing towards the target and check with your potentially new goals.
- Perhaps your goals have changed? if so steer a new direction and repeat until happy.
- Think of this instrument as measuring your rate of change of feelings and +/- thoughts throughout life.
- As you live and breath, some things will make you happier or sadder, wiser or cynical, knowledgeable or dumb.
- You can speed things up by lifestyle choices, slow it down similarly or change things on a new venture.
- Read the zero mark as “stable” and in general we may want to aim for this as there will be no surprises.
- Perhaps you want to achieve something but your subconscious is sabotaging it, the gauge will show a downwards reading.
- Your aim therefore would be to know when it is correct to show positive and negative readings – you should have the right support.

Anyone like to see instruments move and rotate indicating some external state?
Or want some knowledge of an aircraft's situation is measured?
Or to see what instruments a pilot needs and gets?
Or to contemplate how we could all do with instrumentation to guide our lives?
We can all love instruments and gauges, they directly appeal to our eyes and have evolved purposely.
The instruments in this post represent a means of measuring an aircraft's state in the world at any single instance.
Put together they are showing what's happening to the flying machine and with skill, what is to happen next.
They are used for something to aim for, for something to monitor and for something to trust in.
When the instruments move, the aircraft is alive.
When stationary they are indicating a fixed state, possibly stable, possibly not.
In this post we talk about what they could mean in relation to your life in a thoughtful way.
Have a look, listen and read the poem about the Instrumental Life.
