sky map

You all know the sky map, right? It’s on most planes these days. Shows you the plane’s current position and flight path, plus a load of other info.

Looks like this:

It also has other screens that zoom in and tell you about nearby cities or attractions. Other screens tell you lots of info about your flight, for example:

distance to destination
time to destination
time at destination

All very handy for everyone.

altitude
ground speed
head/tail wind

Yes, interesting to the deep geeks. But what about:

outside air temperature

How is that handy? If I were to find myself suddenly outside of the cabin, the first thing to cross my mind would not be “bit nippy!”

Ooof, all that for a crap gag.
