Spelling Errors

[Skydance]

Anybody with the latest software 1946 still have screens with the wrong spelling?(Attitude instead of Altitude). Who proof reads these thing? I thought it was fixed.

 

[Krabby]

It’s correct. They’re using “attitude” to mean position.

It is meant to be attitude not altitude.
It relates to the pitch and roll of the vehicle
The altitude is in the centre and when I took this I was 25 metres above sea level apparently

This old chestnut!

It’s correct. They’re using “attitude” to mean position.

I just checked the English dictionary and indeed one of the descriptions is position.
Why couldn’t they write Position or Orientation instead?

Because it specifically refers to the position with respect to the earth's horizon.
The subtleties of language.

Blame ‘Aviation English’ for this very standard usage.

How long until we discuss elevation v altitude?

 

[Michael H.]

How long until we discuss elevation v altitude?

The sooner the better.

 

[CountyV8]

How long until we discuss elevation v altitude?

Well I mean sea level.

 

[Tazzieman]

Well I mean sea level.

Black, Red or Dead level?

I’ll pull up the popcorn for this one.

I am just a Luddite but I always understood attitude to have come from aviation terminology. The terms pitch and yaw have now jumped into my head.

The experts will correct me, but side to side and nose to tail orientation ? Not sure which is which though !

Because people would have posted on here asking why they didn't just use attitude.
I would have liked them to have added "yaw" as well as pitch & roll so we can see how far we can drift them.

I mean I understand pitch and yaw but not attitude. Well I do now

The other spelling error, not on the vehicle..

Trailmaster or Trialmaster.

Trail, although wrong, would seem more logical as you might be driving off road trails.

Now I get it, it's Trialmaster Attitude. Says it all. DaBull
