I've observed similar results with new students in the T-45C. The
primary
instrument scan is on an ADI which has all the essential flight data
for
BI.
But the altimeter and airspeed are presented as digital information
with
a
"wiper blade" for movement (roughly 2 knot and 20 foot increments ...
one
sweep = 100 knots or 1000 feet). Not intuitive for the pilot trained
to
standard instrumentation. We do not have BI-1 check rides.

There are backup steam guages ... 2 inch airspeed and altimeter ...
that
are
well out of scan. A partial panel scan is tough. Of course I can
dump
the
system and leave them with a wet compass, a peanut gyro, a clock and
the
standby pitot statics. Fun to fly a TACAN approach using the
alphanumeric
bearing to station and DME. Kind of a graduation character building
exercise, the Kobiyashi Maru scenario.

Hi JC

I've lived through the perfect Kobiyashi Maru scenario. I have beaten
Captain Kirk. I am the best!!!
My wife appeared at the head of the stairs one night before we went out
for
dinner and asked me,
"Do I look fatter in the blue dress.....or the red one????"
"NEITHER, says me, thou art beautiful in BOTH!!!!"

Well then, you won't mind telling us when you quit beating her?

Not sure if I follow? KM is a no win scenario offered in a problem.
(Wife with two dresses vs appearance = no win)
By attacking the problem source and changing the premise, you create a
possible win scenario (survival in this case.......and creative
thinking.......and in the case of not offering my wife a fat in one, not in
the other ......a sure formula for avoiding instant execution!!! :-)
