Where would you find an attitude indicator?

ajmax, Well observed but it is actually atitude. It's unfortunate that the words are so similar but altitude is the height (measured by pressure sensors) as opposed to atitude which is orientation realitive to the horizon.

shouldn't that be altitude?

Paul Steadman, Except attitude has three ‘t’s and altitude only two.

Paul Steadman, Wow! Now that's interesting! Learned something new
