I can confirm that the "VSPEED" display in the 737 PFD actually always
shows the number "0" but I'd say this is still better than a fps
display - at least for a real pilot. If the display sticks to 0 the
pilot will realize very soon that it is broken, a display that shows
totally incorrect numbers might hide a significant risk .... ;-)
Cheers,
