I'm a 27 year new pilot. I am what you might call part of the Sega generation. I like checking my email on the go and recording programmes on my high def TV remotely using my phone, pushing the boundaries of technology and finding new uses for it.
I like using sat nav in a car, I know I can still read a road atlas or A-Z if need be.
I want to use a GPS unit in the aircraft instead of (in my opinion) an ancient piece of plastic that turns and goes up and down.
But I'm sticking with it for now until I am confident I can do it well the old fashioned way and I have done some decent trips. This also ensures it does not come as a big shock come CPL time.
The technology is there to overlay the whole of Europe on a HUD (Head up display) with obstacle and airspace warnings, I expect GA flying might start using this within the next 25 years or so.
