: Interesting point. I do remember when I first started flying I thought the AI should work like the turn coordinator. It seemed more natural for me to think of how the plane was doing relative to the horizon rather than how the horizon was doing relative to the plane. It likely varies from one person to the next, but I think I would have been happy had the AI been built, as you say, "outside-in". I'm with you. For some reason I have to FORCE myself to correctly interpret the standard AI. It has *always* seemed backwards to me. Logically, I don't know why. I am "fixed" in the plane and seeing the background of the AI as a virtual "outside the window horizon" should be perfectly natural... but for me it just doesn't work well.
