You'll find emergency locator transmitters (ELTs), personal locator beacons, altitude encoders, antennas, intercoms, VHF air band transceivers, power supplies and handheld radios.

Geeks will love these advanced aircraft instruments and electronics that streamline the efficiency of your flights. Among our cockpit essentials are aviation GPS devices, so you'll always know exactly where you are and how to get where you're going. They cover the entire world so you're never lost and are available in basic and deluxe models. Air band transceivers are available in panel mounted and portable styles. Antennas will boost the range of your communications system, while intercom systems help you keep in communication with your ground control crew and your passengers.

Why Upgrade Aircraft Instruments?

Over time, older aircraft instruments can become less reliable due to normal wear, outdated technology, or limited availability of replacement parts. Choosing modern alternatives ensures more accurate readings, improved safety, and access to the latest innovations. Upgrading your airplane flight instruments gives both pilots and passengers greater confidence in every flight.

From avionics to aircraft instruments, SkyGeek offers a big selection of everything you need to keep well-connected and safe.

The Six Basic Aircraft Instruments

The “six pack” refers to the six most essential aircraft instruments found in nearly every cockpit. These airplane flight instruments provide pilots with critical information about altitude, speed, orientation, and direction, ensuring safe and efficient flight operations.

The six pack includes:

Airspeed Indicator – Displays the aircraft’s speed, usually measured in knots.
Altimeter – Shows the aircraft’s altitude above sea level.
Attitude Indicator – Indicates the plane’s orientation relative to the horizon.
Heading Indicator – Displays the aircraft’s compass heading.
Vertical Speed Indicator – Shows the rate of climb or descent.
Turn Coordinator – Provides information on the rate and coordination of turns.

Together, these instruments give pilots a complete picture of their flight status and are considered the foundation of safe flying.
