true, the electronics permit all sorts of easily generated bells and whistles .. .. but to do that sort of thing confers a level of supposed precision onto the real world application of the calculation which is not sustainable ....
I suspect all these little bits of detail serve mainly to confuse the pilot into thinking it is all a bit more precise than it is ...
The whole concept of V1 is a bit rubbery in the real world application ...
... and, as we see so often in the sim with a prearranged incapacitation of PNF ... is PF always monitoring his/her own clocks ? The more the reliance is permitted to be diverted to the support system the more, I suspect, that the decision making process can be compromised ....
