She's on the ground. What's up with her artificial horizon? (I'm also curious why her watch is on the wrong wrist, but that's not as big a deal as that gauge.)

Hmm? I wear my watch on my right arm (and yes, I'm right handed) Is it really that unusual?

Somewhat. I did for a long time, but my Dad made fun of me for it, so eventually, I made myself switch. It was hard, though. Felt weird for a long time.

(If she's left-handed, then it's proper to wear the watch on the right hand.)

Simple explanation konafolks: The plane is broken, and she's just taking a picture in it for her friends. The engine is off but she has her hands on the throttle (which is imaged wrong in itself) and yoke/stick. Most other instruments are near or at zero except for that silly Manifold pressure. The watch isn't even an issue because she could be R or L handed but at least she's wearing one with an E6B flight computer bezel on it.

Being a pilot myself, I can tell you two situations for her gage: 1: The engine is not running, so she just did a magneto check and experienced a small short or lingered power infuse which can cause the gages to read wrong for a second (the gyro spins and stalls) causing a misplaced reading before reset. 2. It's broke! If the electrical driven gyroscope is down on one axis it can read like this. However if you know anything about flying you can see more wrong then that here. Flap control anyone? Missing gages?

Fair call....also it could be one of those old 'venturi' instruments that require airflow to errect the AH.
....I dont like the US flag tho....doesnt fit with the whole

Comparing to this example, looks like the flap handle is blocked from view by her leg.
Looks like all the instruments are there.

I'll agree with Rags on the way the artificial horizon is acting. As for the US flag, keep in mind it's a US made plane.

I've flow a Husky (160 hrs or so) and it looks more like this:

Oil pressure, AMP's, Tach, Exhaust temp, Volts, Prop High, Trip, etc. are missing... The example you used has digital displays and is not correct in this case of this image, trust me... In this case, the AH needs no outside air Ref.

Remember, in the real world when stating something as fact, it's best that that is the case...Because your words may affect another's life decisions...
