It simply and honestly scares the bejesus out of me if pilots start using the word "outside reference".
I don't know if you remember, but the stuff is actually happening and hurting outside, not referencing.
God only knows who brought that cr@p up, but we can read who uses it ....
The industry is propagating "best use of equipment", ok. But this should include two things:
- The human being who sometimes works better than any electronic gimmick
- Switching these gimmicks off when they distract more than help.
But once again: "outside reference" .... please!!
