Default Re: GA Glass Cockpit Training

[ QUOTE ]
Why do you want to learn on that...I would suggest training on the old steam guages first....If you already have your instrument rating then go for the new stuff...Glass easy to transistion too. It is a little harder to go backwards though....You really need to pickup your scan rate as everything is spread out once again...

just my .02 worth

I've got 4,000 hours and several jet type ratings - I'm not the one doing the learning......but your point is well taken and exactly what the research project is focused around. It's a project/possibly thesis research on the increasing trend of manufacturers putting advanced systems in primary training aircraft and if that's going to translate into the same or different transition problems that people have had when going from analog to the more advanced cockpit systems.
