Airspeed Tape
Nearly every glass cockpit aircraft has an airspeed tape with the speeds increasing as you go "up" the tape, similar to the altitude tape having the altitudes increase as you go "up" the tape.
I have flown one glass cockpit where that was reversed: the speeds decrease as you go "up" the tape.
I felt this was much more intuitive, since when you pitch the nose up,
- you climb toward the higher altitudes on the tape;
- and you pitch up toward a lower speed.
Are any Human Factors experts on here that can address this?
Has anyone else flown glass with the tape version I referred to?
How about thoughts from the peanut gallery?
