I was wondering about that: the distance in viewing angle between the
ASI and runway is very small, and I need +1 for reading the ASI, and
neutral for seeing the runway. There is hardly any room here for the
transition area... So, do you move your head when alternating between
the instruments or runway, or is the transition area indeed very small?
