Like some others you did not read the whole of what I wrote. FWIW my first exposure to computers was c. 1971 when I was repairing the first ever electronic calculators, and I programmed microprocessors (in assembler) in their earliest days, from the 8080 onwards. And I am well aware that the best quality software is not written by youngsters with spikey hair and ear-rings (and never was; I've employed plenty of programmers).

I stand by my suggestion that the bulk of the pilot population is behind the wave in the required technological expertise.

Obviously nobody here will agree on the basis of personal experience because you cannot be reading pprune.org unless you know how to access the internet

The only solution is to do something on the 2 yearly checkride. An FAA-style oral perhaps?
