Also, have you ever flown a Cessna? Open the POH for crying out loud.

So what. All that proves is Cessna can't spell. Last time I checked they
weren't the Cessna Dictionary Company.

I've flown a lot of other aircraft than Cessnas and all the others have
gauges.

"Gage" was used more predominately in the US in days past. It's probably
safe to assume a lot of older US manufactured aircraft prior to WWII used
the word "gage" in favor of "gauge".

At any rate both are correct so why you persist on saying otherwise is
anyone's guess. Grammar flames are pretty lame to begin with and harping on
a fallacious grammar flame has to be even more so.
