Zemeckis air disaster flick.

I guess the names say it well enough. Dual cue vs single cue. Dual you're working two items in the ADI cross check, single you're working just one--putting the delta symbol into a single FD command. Just seems more intuitive to me.

there is your problem... don't look at it as two... look at the point at which the "two" cross as one! and put that little airplane "box" symbol in the middle of that intersection... it's like a video game. I've done about 50/50 both over 10 types, and always found it easier.... but we are all different and all learn differently, so maybe it's just a tomato and tomaaato thing..

Or maybe he's just not eating enough bananas.

I think so.

There were inconsistencies but there was more movie set realism than usual. I don't like the dual cue on the EFIS ADI. If it had been a single-cue chevron there's no way they would have crashed.

Saw the movie.

It's like watching a documentary. After destroying the vagina of the hottest FA in the history of aviation, most pilots take a call from the X to tell them to piss off on Johnny's private school. Quick line of blow to get ya to the van by 8 and its time to give some airplane rides.

320 below 10, no problem. Cruise cocktail, why not. FO who is basically pooping his pants, standard fare (realism note FO was a Jesus freak). Chart sun shade, seriously great idea.

In short this movie highlights your standard 2 day with an accident.

start working at one of your favorite ACMI's like Evergreen, Kalitta, or Gemini back in the day... and you pretty much have one of the better behaved ones there....

The massive gut Denzel grew was HIGHLY realistic!

Maybe it's just law of primacy but, dual-cue is WAY easier and much more accurate. Of course, it's important to understand what it's doing, why it's doing it, and because you still have a scan (I hope), anticipate what it SHOULD be doing next.

I figure single cue FDs were designed for idiots who thought dual cues were just too complicated. I guess no one told them that you STILL have to control TWO different axes at the same time - hence the allegory of certain Asian headgear and pink lips.

that's a bit harsh.... I think some people just prefer what they first used or learned on... myself, I didn't like the dual cue at first, but just as I didn't like glass cockpit, over time I started to prefer it.
