Maybe someone who has flown a "Highways in the sky" type of EVS can give an opinion on how intuitive they are to fly.
I believe it uses a similar principle to the Russian O-I ADI, in that the horizon is fixed and the aircraft symbol moves in relation to it?
Double Zero, you might just want to retract what you said previously about RL
Our latest cockpit doesnt have any traditional (electro-mechanical) standby instruments. The SFD is backed up by an independent battery, for a main battery and generator failure, that also powers independent sensors for air data and attitude, as obviously required by regulations. In the case of a "simple" PFD failure, the NAV is also connected to it, hence the SFD can display QDM, QDR, GS, LOC and DME. Give me that over an E2B and mechanical ADI and Alt any day.
JR - please don't feel you are hijacking the thread. The HF side of cockpit designs are exactly what I would like information on.
