Opinions Please:
I have a gripe about these DG/Compass displays. All are made with the top of the display as the nose of the plane. Good Grief! We know where the nose of the pane is! What we want is where are we headed? All the present displays force us to read the numbers! I propose we put North at the top center of the display, Don't rotate the numbers. Put an airplane on the center of the DG and rotate it to point in the direction we're going. THEN, YOU DON'T HAVE TO READ THE DAMNED NUMBERS UNTIL YOU WANT TO GET PICKY! And, it's 23.5 times faster!
WHY NOT?
