Lest we take EFB moving maps for granted ...

here's what Harrier pilots made do with in the early 70's.

 

 

The system used inertial nav and the rear projection of 35mm film strip photos of aeronautical charts.

Need a magnifying glass for that little 3" gauge. Used to know an old pilot who flew with a magnifying glass for reading WAC charts and engine instruments 😁 No problems with flight instruments, he never looked at those 🤣

Yeah, a phone mounted over the vacant hole'd be a bigger, better, cheaper way.

(And for dedicated old-schoolers, there's always a refurbed Ferranti  - with built in magnifier ;- )

Just looked at a all Garmin dual efis, dual radio, IFR panel and came to 60k without installation. 

 

I would imagine this would have been several times that in Seventies dollars (pounds).

We have come a very long way in both technology and price.

Our fathers would have been amazed at what we have on our phones today.

That is a nice panel you have there Gary, will be interesting to see what student pilot thinks of your 3" efis when you meet up.

No issue there ...        🔎
