From: any town as retired.
Alt select

I still maintain I am a mere driver......PIC rated on PS2.

The aircraft altitude: I assume references to QNE, except when below "your" preset transition level.
The heading that the aircraft is flying: Is this computed by "your" system, or it a feed from my ADC.
The IAS from the ASI: I assume you get this data from my ADC.
The Selected Flight Level from the autopilot: This I assume is the altitude preselect. Assume that I am descending from FL510, and directly cleared to 6000ft, I would be technically correct in setting 6000 in the alt select, and changing my altimeter to QNH, as I leave FL510. Does this not cause confusion to the system.
The rate of climb/descent of the aircraft: again I assume from my ADC.

ADC: Air Data Computer.

Thanks for the increase in my knowledge base.

Lastly: would the down link data bandwidth, be able to take a 1fps video feed, then you would know my coffee preferences.

IWS: what package are you running.

ps I dont take sugar in my coffee.
