Dsc810, I hear you but we are much more advanced than you think. When a system is out of parameter in EC225 we get a warning light plus the numbers on the affect system gauge appear for the first time. We do not need to monitor numbers anymore (in general).
On the EC175 we have gone one step further. In this type, a parameter out of trend is notified to the crew long before it exceeds a limit.
Some of this philosophy is on the L2 but not all.
We are heading in the right direction.
Round gauges or tapes. May well be a personal preference but I have not met an EC225 or EC175 pilot who does not like the EC display.
Is there anyone who can prove me wrong on this one.
