I am intrigued about the -6 mentioned on the PFD in your picture.

I am intrigued about the -6 mentioned on the PFD in your picture.
It is the RA height, at the ground it reads negative.


Does Airbus have a similar system, please?
No, and the display system of the airbus is a lot worse than the NGs one. On the NG the middle position of the brightness control for the PFD/ND worked for me on most planes and most lighting situations. Don sunglasses and tweak it up a little, at night tweak it down a little and still a lot of control left over. Not to mention of course the amount of information one can display.

On the bus i have to have the screens at full brightness during the day and reading them is somewhat difficult with sunglasses on, at night turn it full down and they are still too bright.

Yes, the table is nice and overall the bus is the better working place, but especially for displays and a lot of the avionik system the NG is simply better, but then it is more modern there.
