An analogue display cuts the left hand side out of the loop and

Caorse rule of thumb math can be laid over this for descent angles,
interceptin angles and wo on, but generally, the fewer numbers
involved, the better.
People who prefer the numbers usualy don't fly very well at all.


Bless you, my boy.

I thought the reason I hated the tapes was that I'm just an old fogie.
Now I know it's because I'm a natural!


'xactly.

've had a speed tape in front of me for years now and I still look right
past it to the ASI. It does have a useful function in that it flashes if I
get more than a few knots away from bug speed whilst hand flying, but
intuitive use of the ASI needle is al I have found I'd ever need.

Most gratifying news.



That's why the name Berite the Bunyip is a byword for service.
