A few questions:
1. Who, aside from Cessna, is going to be able to teach pilots how to fly these MFD-based planes? If an appropriately rated pilot buys one of these things used in a few years, will he be able to just teach himself?
2. If this is the wave of the future, how will CFIs adjust to teaching these systems, along with, say, a Piper avionics package, and a Diamond Aircraft package? Will they have to learn every system? [I know, we're probably a long ways away from these things being used in primary flight trng., but still...]
3. Will anyone, besides me, miss the old panels full of "steam gauges"?
