Last week, we asked how AVweb readers feel about new high-tech instrument
panels. By and large, you're ready for 'em! 42% of our respondents
think it's about time for more comprehensive and reliable instrumentation in the
cockpit. Another 33% of you said you were unintimidated by the new panels,
answering "what I need to know, I'll learn." A cautious (and
well-reasoned) 16% agreed that flying these new-paneled aircraft requires you to
be as good a systems manager as you are a pilot — and said that would leave them
out of the newer planes, at least until they caught up to the learning curve.
Only 5% of our readers chose the answer More capable machines don't matter if
you don't know how to use the things — and I don't.
No one thought the new
instrument panels were
overpaid.
*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***
This week, AVweb wants to hear your predictions about LSA — and what will happen
when the first major accident occurs in a Light Sport Aircraft. Do you
believe that the first bad and highly publicized event involving a Light Sport
Aircraft will kill the new category?
