Who said that you cannot have a glass cockpit in a R44?
Sorry, I didn't know that glass cockpits was the domain only for turbine pilots.
OK for the turbine guys to have all the bells and whistles. No, they don't have their eyes inside the cockpit looking at all the fancy colours, do they?
If someone has enough money to put a glass cockpit in a R44, good on them I say.
Why do they do it?
Because they can!
