Pilots receive information about the state of their aircraft and its speed, altitude, position and attitude through instruments and displays. These can vary from the simplest of dials and pointers to modern electronic displays (the so-called 'glass cockpits'), depending on the vintage and the complexity of the aircraft, and a simple dial can seem very different in appearance and sophistication from a modern cathode ray tube or liquid crystal screen. However, certain problems of range, resolution, accuracy and reliability are general characteristics of all instrumentation systems.
