S-92 Round Dial Airspeed Background
Colibri,
When the basic display format came up for debate on the 92, SA had been delivering S-76 aircraft with Sperry/Honeywell EFIS, which incorporated tape displays for airspeed and altitude. Fleet pilot response to those displays, along with our test pilot community group, was anything but polarized, either for or against, but the strong majority was in favor of the hybrid display which was certified and delivered. The discussions were long and spirited.
