So the question I would have would be if we train private pilots on the usage of glass cockpits, do we just train for the flavor of the displays in their training aircraft? Or do we use computer-based training to train in the top three display configurations?

Well, my guess is that most private pilots will be using the same airplanes over and over again, as they rent them from the same FBO that they go to all the time. So I guess you could just train them on the displays in that aircraft.

Or, you could set an industry standard and make everyone comply with that. Actually, that would be a good thing if you ask me. But nobody ever does.
