Flight Design CT Panel

[Roger]

I understand the left panel in the Flight Design panel is tilted 5 degrees. If the D-100 is mounted flat with the panel I assume that means it's five degrees "out of bubble" with the airplane. Assuming that's correct how incorrect are the readings on the D-100? And which readings would be incorrect. I understand the Airspeed comes from the pitot tube but what about the rest?

Many thanks

Hi Roger,

Flight Design has actually done in-flight testing and has reported back that the effects are negligible.

Theoretically, anything that uses the internal sensors may be slightly affected. Of the primary flight instruments, this would include everything but airspeed and altitude.
