An instrument for use on an aircraft equipped with a cross wind landing gear system is described. The instrument indicates on the pilot's display panel of the aircraft the alinement or misalinement of the wheels of the aircraft relative to the runway and to the aircraft's centerline in a manner such that the flight crew will not mistakenly adjust the wheels in the wrong direction. The wheels have automatic and manual modes of operation. In the automatic mode of operation, the wheels are automatically alined with the runway, and the alinement is indicated on the display panel of the aircraft. In the manual mode of operation, the pilot turns the wheels to aline them with the runway. The alinement or misalinement of the wheels is indicated on the display panel.
