Pilots now have glass cockpits. The entire information package is now available as digital readouts.
Oddly enough, all the vital data is still displayed in analog symbols.
You don't suppose...

Oddly enough, all the vital data is still displayed in analog symbols. When the dial faces are properly oriented (East Asianed?), all the hands will be at the same angle during "normal" operation. Thus, a simple glance is all that is needed to determine everything is OK.
If there is an "abnormal" reading, the pilot's eye is quickly drawn to that specific dial.
