The happiest day of your life is when you buy an aeroplane and when you selling it! 


ASI, also shows limiting speeds, horizon, only when up.to speed, no flag, and not toppled if mechanical. 

Altimeter. Barometric height above pilot set ptessure datum, not necessarily sea l.evel 

TS shows Yaw rate, not necessarily turn rate. 

Heading indicator. Only magnetic if slaved to compass or recently synchronised to a mag compass. 

VSI does NOT use pitot input except in sailplanes
