For example, the ROC reads around 65+ fpm while sitting still on the runway! So for those reason and more I have been leaning towards using the 3D world relative values (Z) over the cockpit guage aka indicated (I) values. They are not without issues either.. I say issue but it just maybe something we are not told about them yet, maybe the soon to be released read me will clear some of that up? Anyway the Z values seem to be the way to go for now IMHO.

That being a pilots's 'perception' of what is going on can be very different from what is 'actually' going on.
