I see "ALT SELECT" armed so must be a Block 5 autopilot ? It was an improvement over the standard Bloc 4 which required you to pay attention and select ALT HLD or bust the altitude.
I got to prefer the Sperry F/D with a separate bar for roll and pitch vs the Collins FD 108/109 with the "bat wings".
I also prefer the cross hairs. The "alt sel" function has to be engaged each time after changing the altitude in the alert window, so we made a standard callout, "XXXX set, alt sel armed".
