Pilot boot size - A critical issue

[Caldera]

Hey all,

Frankly, I have no clue.  What are these doodads for?

Always assumed it had something to do with the pedals.

Pedal adjustment angle, I think.

[ASAP]

As the pedals move forward and backward when you use the adjustment handle (opposite the alternate gear extension handle) an arrow moves up and down that scale to tell you the position of the pedals. It’s just so the pilot can quickly set them to the same spot every time in every jet they fly for consistency sake. It’s important for muscle memory and repeatable habit patterns I guess

Cool beans, thanks!

I kind of liked @Caldera's boot size theory, though!

I'd like to see the pilot with the size #1 boot.

[silverdevil]

pilots with size one to size 11 US footwear. otherwise one would be short or too tall for the cockpit.

Size #1 would need a big pillow to sit on.
