Hi all,

I've been trying to figure out the operation of the 3 axis ADI fitted as a standby instrument to the later Harriers (a Ferranti FSI100 I think). I see that there are 2 warning flags on it....

Question No, not that QFE/QNH debate.

Having read a number of forum members getting quite aerated about their favoured altimeter setting, I'm anxious to stay well out of that argument.

Thanks Chevvron and Fl1ingfrog for contributing to the subject under discussion.
