To each his/her own.
Let the debate begin
Well I noticed that this screen doesn't have Traffic enabled. If you did, you would understand why track-up. How about looking straight ahead towards a storm system when you're flying High Performance aircraft. You can quickly decide if a 5-10 degree turn will be sufficient or not. I always thought if you look straight out the window, the MFD/GPS should be the same.
Also, I always thought ppl that were North-Up's are the same people that can't read a map going the wrong way
. They would have to turn it upside down if traveling south
He says he can "glance at the screen and get an approximate heading etc.." Isn't what all that G-Whiz-1000 stuff is for.
I'll just razz you, it's all in good fun. Everyone's brain works differently, and I'd be willing to bet you picked it up originally from your instructor anyways. So in closing, I'm not going to say you're all idiots and I'm right...........I'm just saying I'm right
(Seriously though, Just razzing, have a nice day)
