SKY POINTERS
Apologies for taking 8 years to add to this thread!!
BUT I think it is still valid.
In the RAF during training on the Jet Provost and then later flying the Vulcan and the Nimrod I never had any problems interpreting the Ground Pointer even when recovering from UPs.
Later converting to the AWACS ( B707 ) I immediately found the Sky Pointer difficult to use instinctively and sometimes had to think twice before levelling the wings - this is most undesirable when flying at night in extreme turbulence etc !! Ie turning the wrong way you COULD in extremis end up inverted!
Later when instructing in the Flight Sim I found that many others also disliked the Sky Pointer!
SOLUTION
Imagine that you are wearing a German helmet ( the one with the spike sticking out of the top ! ) - this is is the Sky Pointer,
Using this mental image you immediately know which way to bank to regain S & L !
Try it ?
