A real thread drift going here, so in an effort to continue the direction, having a bunch of hours on the R22 and Cabri, aa777888 has it bang on and I am amazed at the level of (incorrect) vitriol coming his way. Just because a manual MAP lookup can be done (tricky in flight when conditions change), and has worked (most of the time) over the years, does not mean a simple, clear and dynamic display isn’t a better idea for everyone regardless of experience level. I have also flown in conditions (not even particularly unusual) where fuel flow was the limiting factor before MAP - not that I hit the limit, that would be poor form indeed.

Thinking about it, with Nav, I am sure everyone here can use a map, but isn’t a modern moving map display easier all round? Doesn’t mean someone isn’t worthy to fly - that would only be case if they couldn’t fly without a moving map.
