Electronic Instrument Glossary

Make entries: 1

Now you have an idea of the the evolution of instrument systems into the electronic 'glass' cockpit, assist us in building a glossary of terms associated with the topic.

Please add to the glossary, giving the term and a description. As you add to the glossary it will held build up an area which you will be able to refer to during your revision.

The glossary has been set in a way that if you create a 'term' you will have approx 30 minutes to carry out any amendments to it, after this time period it will be locked from editing. Fellow students can however comment on the term & description posted.

Please use these comments constructively as all users are here with the goal of passing the modular exam.
