Driving is two dimensional, you can't acquire a false horizon and be in a dive, bank, or climb when you think you're level (you can lose visibility of the road markings, but that's more ...
- Hot plate question - Pilots of AmericaThere are a lot of variables to this question. But for note some hot plates were factory installed vs STC.
