MAXsenna Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Always assumed it had something to do with the pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon1-1 Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 Pedal adjustment angle, I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution ASAP Posted September 9, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) 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 Edited September 9, 2022 by ASAP 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
