A review question essentially asks:
"True or False, only the gyroscopic flight instruments can provide bank information".
I claimed this was false, reasoning that the mag compass could technically proivde very crude bank information in straight and level flight.
The book however, claims the appropriate answer to be "true".
Maybe their reasoning is that only the six-pack instruments are "flight instruments"?
but then they would contradict themselves, as they defined "flight instruments" as:
"...those instruments providing information regarding aircraft attitude, direction, altitude, and speed."
