Garmin, who is pushing ever upwards does not follow this philosophy
Another thing. Some Garmin PFD do not have a Sky Pointer. Instead they have a ground pointer or similar arrow. All transport jet airliners have a Sky Pointer PFD. Indeed this Sky pointer is very much a vital item for unusual attitude recoveries. e.g. Turn the shortest direction towards the Sky Pointer to get wings level during recovery from UA. In the simulator we often see pilots who have just come off Garmin EFIS presentations getting quickly disorientated during UA recoveries because of Sky/Ground pointer indications. Garmin need to get their act in order and install a Sky Pointer presentation.
