Pictorial flight instruments prove superior in navigation tests
The CAA found that pictorial cockpit displays let pilots navigate more accurately. In tests, 15 private and 15 instrument-rated pilots solved 407 problems with pictorial instruments, while 435 problems with symbolic displays yielded 50 failures.
