Vilas, sincere thanks for explaining the 'bus philosophy on landing mode(s).
It worries me that such designs seem to ignore the poor chimp who's trying to ignore thousands of years of evolution and is trying to think and operate like the machine?
A case in point is the research done years ago, following the introduction of digital watches, which implied that those who used them were consciously or unconsciously "translating" the digits presented into analogue form.
The recent fad for "track up" similarly ignores the fact that the chimp is sitting aligned physically and mentally (well most of us are!) with the longitudinal axis of the airframe and the new presentation is proving confusing to some. The same confusion has been expressed by new F/Os on type (737NG) so it's not just because I'm one of the old codgers raised in the "steam" days.
Of course the "track up" issue is another potential thread, but again thanks for a very lucid explanation of the 'bus way of doing things.
