Glass cockpit hard to read
horizon line is easier to interpret than a two inch standby gauge,
size matters when it comes to glancing at those important numbers. The guy who builds the EFIS 1200 agrees with you on the Avidyne and similar displays and built what he thought was a better display. I like it. There is more to come, but that is a different topic. Denny Good to know there are people who are still working on alternatives. And it's runs even under Windows :-) As I said, if we get enthusiasts to try out new designs, something better is going to come out of it eventually. Arno |

In article . com, wrote: A lot of human factors work went into the tape formats, and it was with the understanding that training would be required for pilots to adapt to them. So do the numbers get bigger or smaller as the tape move down? It does not get bigger when it moves down slowly. It only does that when it moves down quickly, sucking the pilot to get closer to the fast moving tape. It may be even bloodier, unless one is trained to slow down the fast moving tape before it displays a single digit 0. |
