Great statement HeliC.... as a examiner I rarely asked such questions. I found them somewhat irrelavant although some were in the limataions section such as starter values etc (example) were worthy of noting.
As a driver the last thing I was concerned about during a sticky situation was "have we reached 105.3 N1 or was that 105.6" . The coloured markings are there for a reason. Green "good" yellow "I'm getting worried" red "we maybe f##ked"
