| (b) | an accurate time-piece showing the time in hours, minutes and seconds; |
| (c) | a sensitive pressure altimeter with a subscale setting, calibrated in hectopascals, adjustable for any barometric pressure setting likely to be encountered during flight; |
| (d) | an airspeed indicator system with heated pitot tube or equivalent means for preventing malfunctioning due to either condensation or icing; |
| (e) | a vertical-speed indicator; |
| (f) | a turn-and-slip indicator or a turn coordinator, incorporating a slip indicator; |
