So, broadly speaking:

Half scale = half way across from centre to one side
Full scale = ALL the way across from centre to one side

See this is where I was getting confused - to me "Full Scale Deflection" implies the *maximum* possible deflection of the indicator, i.e. all the way from one side of centre to the other. But what you are saying is that this would actually be TWICE the FSD - correct?
