Anyone here every actually had to fly on Stby instruments for real?
Yes thank you. I’m not alone in this as many others flying C560XL, Citation X, Dornier 328 have experienced the cascade failure of early low mod state Collins screens. Flying an approach to minima using a SFD such as a Meggitt should be expected of a pilot.
All this talk from magenta-line generation about lack of speed info; do you not know the expected attitudes to aim for? And as for this ‘startle factor’ and ‘no one will notice until airborne’, or how to communicate a screen failure … Are you not trained to always expect the unexpected, monitoring pilot to monitor, and how to communicate a failure?
What has become of the professional pilot and basic airmanship?
