My Cup Runneth Over !



Chugalug,

Tried to copy 'n paste the picture to you but no joy. But if you Search for Which Cockpit ? (Show Threads), then take it from there (as in Paras 2 and 3 of my Post), you should arrive at the picture. Will try again tonight, don't think I can get a pic, but can get an URL reference, if that's any good ?

The ordinary needle/ball is higher on the central panel than the combined D.I./ball (lower and set slightly to the left - obviously for the benefit of the Captain).

For my part, if I ever felt the need to reset the D.I. in the air, I would clearly have to fly S&L for a while to let the compass settle down, while doing that I'd have all the time in the world to centre the ball, so it could be anywhere in the panel provided I could see it. Why would I need two then ?

I must be missing something !

Danny.




OMG !!!
