Flying Glass Cockpits

Ride along with host Richard Collins as he explores three popular glass cockpit systems offered in both Cessna and Cirrus aircraft. First, Collins highlights the Garmin G1000 found in Cessna single-engine aircraft. See first-hand, both on the ground and in the air, the integration of electronic flight instrumentation, GPS, autopilot, traffic, weather and terrain awareness. Next, join Richard as he provides an overview of the Avidyne FlightMax Entegra found in the Cirrus SR-22. He is joined by David Zitt, a Cirrus-certified flight instructor, who discusses what it takes to transition to glass cockpits and common mistakes he has seen along the way. Finally, well look at the Cirrus Perspective by Garmin including its integration of a full digital autopilot, flight director, keypad and synthetic vision display. With glass cockpit systems being the standard in avionics, there is no better time than now to learn how they can make your next flight safer and more efficient!

This man is the most experienced aviator/writer in the world. I fly 737NGs for a living and have more than 8 thousand flight hours myself, but more than half of everything I know about aviation I learned from him. Thank you, Mr Richard Collins!

@mooneyexecutive yeah don't forget the 2000 year old mummy has an infinitive amount of flight experience compared to you!

@jagara1 While this is normally true, I know several flight schools use 152s for PPL training, then move to 172s for teaching instrument procedures. It is a good idea to learn the basics of instrument flight in an aircraft with steam gauges, but it is also smart to log a few hours of actual IFR in a glass cockpit since (if you're looking to fly commercially), you will spend most of your career flying glass.

@jagara1

Of course, epic fail idea. The deal is like this, you can fly what do you want, nobody press you to fly glass cockpit, nobody press you to fly classic cockpit. But i suggest to fly ppl in classic and after ppl if you have enought money...definettly glass cockpit. Belive me, its worth every cent.

in "stero"...... nice

Why fly a 172 with a glass cockpit?

Surely the whole reason for flying a 172 is to fly by which I mean understanding and using pilotage etc...

A 2,000 year old mummy can fly??
