I have three balls

Featured Replies

On the centre pillar of the flightdeck, in every aircraft I have.The cant be coathooks cos theyd block the view, so they must be for ........Suggestions please..........

I believe that they are there to help you get the correct point of view. If you are looking at the center post and the red ball obscures the white one, you have the correct point of view.

Isnt that for seat hight adjustment? or a pool game?

Edited by Johan_Dees

Eyepoint reference. If you're seated correctly you should see one red and one white.

I'm not sure I've ever seen this . . . could someone post a screen shot, by any chance?

Paul + Gavin :( The thought that popped when I first noticed the topic was, "what a braggert!". Forty plus years of marriage, . . . . . . remember I had'em, don't remember for what and wifey still refuses to supply any hints.Seriously, I have seen the three orbs on panels before and not knowing myself what they are for, the the seat adjustment and view point explanation seem most logical.Mel

I'm relieved that nobody felt the need to raise the ante and claim they have four of them. That would be just plain weird! :(

I think having three is not bad.'I have one ball' would be so miserable...

could someone post a screen shot, by any chance?
Please, no!

I am OCD, I like my ball centered at all times..RJ
