Abstract: A training aid providing a display simulating that of an artificial horizon instrument. The training aid comprises a base, a circular member rotatably supported within the base, and a horizon indicating member. The circular member is transparent and has an image representative of an aircraft and a pointer inscribed on the circular member. The horizon indicating member has a symbolic horizon inscribed thereon, and is visible through the circular member. The base has index marks forming a scale visible through the circular member. The horizon indicating member is linearly movable relative to the base, and may be manipulated so that the symbolic horizon is visible in positions indicative of climbing, diving, and level flight. The circular member may be rotated to indicate banking to the right and left and straight flight. The circular member and horizon indicating member are independently manipulable so that any flight attitude attainable in actual flight can be symbolically reproduced on the training aid.

Abstract: A novelty drinking mug having handle and incorporating a display simulating that of an artificial horizon instrument disposed within the floor of the mug. The floor is transparent, and encloses a fluid chamber partially filled with a colored liquid. The transparent floor of the mug has indicia simulating the scale of an actual artificial horizon instrument. A disc bearing indicia simulating that representing an aircraft in an actual artificial horizon instrument is disposed in visual alignment with the transparent floor. This disc may, in alternative embodiments, be contained within the fluid chamber or within its own chamber. The disc has an eccentrically located ballast weight, and is rotatably fixed to a pivot pin. The disc rotates relative to the mug responsive to gravity when the mug is rotated about its longitudinal axis. Indicia disposed upon the disc simulates banking.
