100LL,
Point taken - I stand corrected. Of course the DA-42 isn't complicated, but it's not an Aztec - methinks the G1000 will be the main issue - how many technology savvy pilots do you know? In my opinion, customers will need at least a couple days ground school on the G1000 - it's practically as capable as an Airbus system (no FD/VNAV obviously), and one day of training will probably only scratch the surface.
Imagine flying a relatively unfamiliar glass cockpit twin engine aircraft in IFR, bumping around while trying to set up the G1000 - I don't fancy it without solid training (at least 3-5 days on the G1000 alone). Certainly IFR pilots might find it more difficult then the steam gauge equivalent.
