ABSTRACT:
A training aid providing a display simulating that of an artificial horizon instrument. The training aid comprises a base, a circular member rotatably supported within the base, and a horizon indicating member. The circular member is transparent and has an image representative of an aircraft and a pointer inscribed on the circular member. The horizon indicating member has a symbolic horizon inscribed thereon, and is visible through the circular member. The base has index marks forming a scale visible through the circular member. The horizon indicating member is linearly movable relative to the base, and may be manipulated so that the symbolic horizon is visible in positions indicative of climbing, diving, and level flight. The circular member may be rotated to indicate banking to the right and left and straight flight. The circular member and horizon indicating member are independently manipulable so that any flight attitude attainable in actual flight can be symbolically reproduced on the training aid.
