Pilots should choose navigation display orientations (e.g., track up, north up, or both) that best suit their individual preferences and enhance their situational awareness.
Improving aviation safety requires stricter adherence to correct radio readback procedures, especially from ground controllers, and avoiding the use of local, non-standard landmarks in position reports to prevent confusion and reduce incursions.
When using flight simulators for IFR currency, pilots must balance the legal logging benefits of certified devices against the often superior aircraft-specific "buttonology" practice offered by DIY setups, considering their personal needs, aircraft, and budget.
I have to disagree with Douglas Boyd’s statement in his November article, “Which Way Is Up?” that you have to choose between track up and north up. Ever since I got ForeFlight, I had my 530 on track up and my kneeboard iPad on north up. I consulted whichever one could answer my question better and never had any confusion using both.
