Someone above mentioned the use of a HUD... I would just point out that that piece of electronic crap bears a lot of responsibility for the crash of FZ981 (read the report) and, personally, I'm no fan of the HUD... on a CAVOK day a look out of the window coupled with some good old-fashioned stick & rudder skills is just as good (if not better) than anything the HUD can provide.... e,g, if you follow the HUD ever so accurately the blasted thing will have you landing at or beyond the end of the touchdown zone... whereas I want to land on the numbers and can do it every time (without recourse to any HUD nonsense) simply by looking out of the window coupled with +6,000 jet landings in the experience bag... but I guess the button pushing land-o-matic generation need all the electronic help they can get?!
