HUD
Do all FD aircraft have a HUD? Is it SOP to always them?
Personally, I'm not a fan of them at all. Ive seen 2 good drivers, in the sim, stuff it all up during a GA (resulted in the loss of the aircraft), trying to recover from an abnormality, when using the HUD as opposed to doing it the way they had been trained for, for the previous 25 years, where the result was never in doubt and the "event" was a non event.
Whether it will be a factor in this accident, i don't know, but so far on this thread, no one has discussed their limitations and it might just be necessary to start, if indeed a HUD was fitted and used.
