This article will explain the six primary instruments of every flight deck, often informally referred to as the six-pack. Key Takeaways The six-pack includes the core flight instruments for navigation and control. The pitot-static system is used to measure the static and dynamic pressure of the air during flight.

At every cabin crew station, where crew members sit during take-off, landing, and during bouts of turbulence, interphones are available for cabin crew members to communicate with each other, as well as with the pilots on the flight deck. Of course, they also double up to act as the PA system for announcements to the passengers.

Pilots rely on the airspeed indicator and altimeter instruments to measure and display this vital information. The static port is connected to the ASI, altimeter, and VSI. How does the pitot-static system operate the altimeter? The altimeter utilizes the static port to receive inputs of the outside static pressure.

If in this situation, make sure to transition your eyes to inside the flight deck. Increasing altitude – read from your altimeter. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. Decreasing altitude – read from your altimeter. When the altimeter stops decreasing in altitude, hold your attitude.
