You guys remember the discussions we had in the past whether to spell the instrument “gage” or “gauge”?

I think Sikorsky and my current employer must have had the same discussions in the past since all their manuals call everything an “indicator”, HAHA. I just looked it up!

And who of you has not tapped the old gauge here and there “just to make sure”? Let’s hear some stories!

What I find even funnier is our current switch from the old, what we call “museum models”, to newer glass cockpits. You won’t believe how many fingerprints I keep finding on the screens!

Are there pilots out there who are tapping the indication on the glass screens!?? Who does that!?

And, more importantly, does it actually work?

Maybe Chuck is working my cross shift! 😉
