Did You Know?

Some planes can fly by themselves!

What is Roll?

Roll is when the plane tilts side to side.

What is Pitch?

Pitch is when the plane goes up or down.

What attitude and heading reference system Does

It helps the pilot fly the plane.

It shows how the plane is moving.

It makes flying safer for all.

It uses sensors to feel the tilt.

It helps with turns and climbs.

It is smart and helps pilots.

More About attitude and heading reference system

This system has been used for a long time. It helps pilots know how to fly. Before, they used other tools that were not as good. Now, this system is much better and helps more.

It helps us when we fly in planes. We can go to new places fast and safe. The pilots trust this system to help them fly right.

In the future, this system will get even better. It may help more planes fly by themselves. This will make flying even more fun!
