I mean, it's upside down for crissake!
Ok, I'm through...TC
I dunno...I thought it was easier to teach the Glass on the GIV - you pitch down to lower altitudes and higher speeds, pitch up to lower airspeeds and higher altitudes and voila' - that's the way the tapes run on the GIV. The GV is pin selectable - you can make the tapes run anyway you want. On the G550 the tapes are industry standard, but they run in opposite directions from each other. There were a number of pilots in flight test that wanted to keep the tapes on the GV the same as on the GIV - it was a marketing decision to "fix" them.
