| Dec 13, 2019 at 6:06 | comment | added | Michael Hampton | Not all avionics systems use uppercase exclusively. You can find lowercase in some of Garmin's recent offerings, for instance. See for instance the lowercase labels for the buttons in this image of a G1000. But for much of what is displayed, lowercase doesn't make a lot of sense. | |
