To heck with steam gauges...........

@mooneyexecutive

aircraft equipped with "steam gauges" work just fine. $70/hour for a well maintained 152 or $120+/hour for a skyhawk SP G1000. let me think, the 152 is going to get me my license just the same. the G1000 is nice but it just isnt necessary. its an added expense and would push flying right out of my affordability. i'll stick with the good ol' 152 and older 172's after i get my license. i will do all of my training with the 152

@ad356 Where are you getting a 172 SP for $120?!?!

[ad356]

@TheTopBloke local flight school rents a 172 out for 85 bucks an hour, of course its an older model from the 1970's but its a nice aircraft and its well maintained. you dont need a skyhawk sp. the 172 they rent out also has a GPS so it has some modern equipment.

@ad356 Are you working on your Private?

@mooneyexecutive You are kidding, right? Steam gauges are the basis of aviation. Student pilots these days who jump right into a G1000 and never see a steam gauge will be completely lost the day their screens go blank. IMC is not where you want to find out that you're not proficient on steam gauges.
