OK! I do love the fancy glass eye candy....BUT! First you have to learn the basic stuff, 'cause when the glass goes down...guess what???? You're back to BASICS! ;)
Where are the real instruments in this picture when the glass goes down???
Yup, the only "REAL" instruments are these three. An old style horizon, an old steam driven airspeed dial and a barometric altimeter.
How Cool Is That? :o
Now try making a low approach on a dark and stormy night on these three bad boys if you don't know the BASICS!!! (Sissy...I think not!) We had to do just that twice a year to keep our qualifications in the "glass" world.
So all you glass/GPS pilots better shoot some BASIC stuff in case the "fancy (sissy) stuff" goes down! :o
I rest my case!
