QUESTION: isn’t the artificial horizon on airplanes completely counterintuitive? Especially on the glass cockpits? Because as I see on this glass cockpit it doesn’t tell you where the wings are so someone who is not very used to a lot of hours of flying with only the instruments has to manually think about the artificial horizon. But if there was a diagram on the glass cockpit showing where the wings were then I wouldn’t take so much mental capacity to have to fly with your instruments when you’re not rated to do that. That makes sense? Is anybody disagree with me? I will say that the old steam gauges often times have a little orange lines that represent where the wings would be.
If you pause the video at 3:43 you can see that the glass cockpit instruments are actually really similar to the analogue gauges you're describing - the yellow inverted V and the two lines left and right of it on the PFD are the representation of the aircraft (wings). This combined with the roll and pitch scale effectively gives you the same instrument, just on a large screen with good precision & lots of available information - I didn't have any issues switching to the G1000 after over 100 VFR hours on analogue instruments at least!
@@PilotJonathan - Thanks. I guess it doesn’t show up very much to me. When you are flying a plane how is your mind processing the artificial horizon? Is it processing it by thinking about where the wings are based on the lines you talked about, or do you only need to look at the brown/blue part because you’re so used to seeing the real horizon so your brain automatically sees the artificial horizon just like the real horizon?
@@iMatti00 Definitely no conscious thinking involved, you don't have the time for that when you're flying in IMC - I can't really explain how my brain processes it, but it definitely happens automatically
It was an amazing IFR flight.Thanks to good pre-planning everything went perfectly. Keep it up great pilot.
Thanks, it really was an amazing flight!
Good luck 👍
Thank you!
hopefully this feb when i do the assessment and interview for the second time i can pass and start my pilot journey in june so excellent!!
Which assessment did you attend and which one will you attend in February?
@@sztojanbarna ATPL Assessment
Good
