Commercial HUD question
Hi, can some of you airline pilots who use HUDs un-confuse me please!
In military jets, the pilot is seated centrally and the HUD behaves quite like a normal PFD, yes?
Well i was thinking, in an airliner the captain is sat to the left of the axis of rotation (bank). So when you bank left, the portion of horizon viewable through the HUD surely rises relative to the HUD itself. Does the HUD's artifical horizon line rotate about the centre of the HUD (and thus come out of alignment with the real horizon) or does it rise with the real horizon? Does this then give a false pitch indication?
I'm curious to know how this works!
Thanks, Mark
