Explain how you scan a pfd? All the information you need is right there..?
Mattyj, you don't mean that!!??!! Do you really think a scan is not required within a PFD?? Sure, the info is "closer" but I for one can't absorb and process "all" the data without moving my gaze from attitude to altitude to vs to attitude to airspeed etc etc etc. Sure, it's "all" closer than on a traditional steam gauge panel, but an internal scan is still paramount! Maybe I'm just not very good at it!
