AVweb's Question of the Week ...

August 12, 2004


*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

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?  Click here to chime in.
