Attitude Check With Julie Boatman

If you own an airplane, you’ve doubtless become very comfortable with the panel, whether it be steam gauges or glass. But if you fly an airplane with which you are less familiar, you’ve got a bit of catch-up to do to feel proficient in your scan. In today’s episode, Rob interviews a pilot who had some challenges in a Chinese airplane with a strange attitude indicator.

The US also used that type of attitude indicator in some installations. I flew an F86-A that had one. We referred to them as space stabilized. Even worse it was one airplane out of 20, with the rest being the type we expect.

For the F86A there were two types of attitude indicators. The J3 which looked like what I call Russian style with brown on top and blue on the bottom, The other was the A1which was all black. No color at all.
