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 wereoverpaid.
