I believe there are various instruments which help pilots while they are flying. Some of them are plain navigational instruments while others have more specific purposes. These implements are a great help for flying safely and efficiently without much difficulties. There are weather radars which help to find out about the weather conditions while flying and thus anticipate any changes in the weather. Then there are implements which can record turbulence and help them to escape from it.

Likewise there are several such implements. I think the best way is to check out some website on flying. A trip to the nearest flying club would also help you to know more about these instruments and their usability. They would be more able to explain to you about these instruments because they are veteran pilots and experienced in actually using these things.
