This may have been the (main) reference: http://www.airliners.net/photo/Generalitat-de-Catalunya/MBB-BO-105CBS-5/0438320/L/ * Ron Jensen -- Monday 05 July 2010: > This is probably to make the needle point in a "logical" direction, so the > pilot doesn't actually have to _read_ the instrument, just see the needle is > pointed up... That was one of my explanations, but I'm not totally convinced. 100% is not a value that you usually want. And why are the instruments often mounted with 45% degree? The triple-tacho's needles normally point to the left Engine N1 somewhere down, TOT down left. Quite a mess ... m. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
