Absolutely, and thats what I added in my post # 14.

Perhaps I could add that in the current range of jet transports pilots could rely on the “glass “ ADI, rather than the turn needle, which I believe to be untoppleable, certainly freedom in roll.

But I ask the question, how many pilots fully understand the workings and limits of their instruments.

As IREs in the RAF he had to be able to DRAW the mechanics of them !
