If you pilot aeroplanes…………

You will know why this instrument panel on the Golf that the dealer has lent me (van in for warranty work) is playing HAVOK with my senses!

Would suggest you get your speed up, full-lock to the left and give it plenty of rudder, you’ll be absolutely fine

Nagging Nora would not be happy.....

Joking apart, what were VW thinking off? why design a display at wonky angles?

think taking a long tour on this Golf, thousand of miles for holiday, become accustomed staring at a normal "bank angle" of 50° degrees , than go back to work as a Pilot, suddenly many alarms and warning go off.. you know why.

Maybe the Golf needs a tyre alignment. was it pulling to the right ?

Still can’t work out what we’re meant to be looking at apart from a photo of a dash?
Am I just being special?

Ha an attitude indicator is an instrument which measures pitch and bank angle.

Left hand clock resembles an aircraft attitude indicator (artificial horizon)

I was also troubled by the lack of PAPI and runway lighting.



Good to see a little aviation community here, who do you fly for @chockswahay?

Haha, you should see it when driving with ACC on, there's often a bl@@dy car parked on the runway!

hehe, you would only be 'special' if you are a pilot and you can't see it!
