Hi

I would like to know a bit more about this instrument :

AD4_RollPitch_Indicator.jpg.ed981ae757f82eae92f56798f9ec807c.jpg

 

In real life, in AD4-1or AD4-2, what was the purpose of this instrument ?

Horizontal : I guess it's the pitch in degrees, from -90 to 90
Vertical : I guess it's the roll in degrees, but : from 9 left to 9 right or 90 left to 90 right ?

As this picture comes from the LABS bombing procedure, it could be +/- 90 degrees vertical and +/- 9 degrees banking. But I'm not sure.

Thanks !

A-4B_COCKPIT.INI

Instrument[029]=ClimbDiveIndVert
Instrument[030]=ClimbDiveIndHoriz

(if #28 is the last intrument, "HUD")
