I was wondering about the current trend of extending the AI across the entire display ala the G1000. The few times I've flown a system like this, I hated it. It doesn't really provide any info than the already relatively large AI section of most older PFDs and reduces the contrast of the A/S and alt tapes and associated symbology making them much harder to read. Am I alone in this?
I don't fly for a living, so I'm curious of the opinion of those who do.
