Are you logging your glass time?

I think glass time in GA is overrated. Going from six pack to glass is extremely easy. I dont know of anyone who had a hard time transitioning. The other way around I could see being a problem. So kudos to you for teaching primarys on six packs. Do they charge more to fly the G1000 172? If so, its a waste of money, just stick to the planes with BRTs.

I would take a twin over a single for training anyday. If its about cost, i see your point, but then again wouldnt a G1000 172 be more expensive to rent than one with a sixpack?
