So my first 200 hours or so have been in traditional round gauge instrument planes. Yesterday I had my first taste of a modern glass cockpit and let me tell you, there is a huge difference. The sheer amount of information displayed in a small yet understandable format is amazing. The biggest problem I ran into under the hood was simply losing track of where I was because I was so busy trying to fly the plane!
Even with the new format I managed to do the holds correctly after a minimal amount of adjusting times and headings. It was an interesting experience but I’m looking forward to going back to my gauges on Monday.
