Instrumentation – ATPL Revision Guide
These ATPL revision guides have been written and refined by experienced ATPL instructors and airline pilots to support structured, efficient study across all ATPL subjects. The content is deliberately condensed into a clear, easy-to-read format, focusing on the knowledge and understanding required for exam success without unnecessary detail. Each guide is designed to help students build confidence, reinforce key concepts, and revise effectively across the full ATPL syllabus.
Description
Instrumentation – ATPL Revision Guide (Subject 022) explains how aircraft measure, compute and display key flight and system parameters, from basic pressure/temperature sensing through to integrated electronic displays and automation interfaces. The guide builds confident understanding of sensor types, units and conversions, typical indications, and common failure modes, so students can interpret what the aircraft is telling them and recognise when it isn’t telling the truth.
Coverage includes engine/system instrumentation (pressure, temperature, fuel quantity and flow, rpm, thrust/EPR/N1, torque, synchroscope, vibration, clocks) plus air-data measurement (pitot/static design, errors and heating, OAT/TAT/SAT and ram rise, AoA sensing and ice protection, altimeter/VSI/ASI/Machmeter principles and unreliable indications, and ADC/ADIRU architecture and consequences of failures). It also covers magnetism and compass systems (variation, dip, deviation, direct-reading compass errors and timed turns, flux valves and remote-reading compasses), and gyro/AHRS fundamentals including rigidity, precession, drift, and how indications change with manoeuvres.
Finally, it explains how modern cockpits integrate information and guidance through AFCS/autopilot modes, flight directors, FMAs and mode awareness, autoland concepts, trim/yaw damper/envelope protection, and autothrust interactions, alongside communications/data-link (ACARS/FANS), FMS/FMC databases and setup logic, alerting systems (FWS, stall/overspeed/take-off warnings), GPWS/TAWS and TCAS, and the role of EFIS/EICAS/ECAM-style displays, EFBs, HUD/SVS/EVS, and CVR/FDR/ACMS monitoring.
