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


I just checked a few of mine. Back in the 60's when they were known as
"Owner's Manual" the word "gage" is used. As late as the 80's, they were
still using "gage" in the POH. I have a very recent one, but it's for a
G1000, so no gauges (or gages), just "indicators".
