    This is not a spelling mistake

    Elements of Flight-Instruments
    The ATTITUDE INDICATOR shows the aircraft's position in relation to the earth's horizon. The white semi-circle of the instrument represents the sky. The white dot at the center of the display represents the nose of the airplane in relation to the horizon and the whitel bars represent the wings of the airplane. In straight and level flight, the nose and wings correspond to the horizon line (see figure). At the top of the indicator is a marker and ball. The ball is covered by the marker indicating level flight. Although this instrument is used at all times, it is particularly important at night and when flying in clouds in order to control the position of airplane relative to the earth. See the examples given below for details.

    I thought it would be an online test of how much of an asshole you were.

    If thats the case, I made something of an unfortunate post the other day that, if your theory is correct, should have had me orbitting the Sun.

    There's no 'I' in 'team'. But then there's no 'I' in 'useless smug colleague', either.
    And there's four in 'platitude-quoting idiot'. Go figure.
