"Glass cockpit or not glass cockpit, that shall be the question!..."
I do not like the new, (in my point of view overloaded) glas cockpit arrangements...
I do not like flying with an autopilot engaged also..
I prefer the "old style" of flying....
Choosing my jobs carefully (in fact: taking whatever comes along...), i managed to get ONLY into utility flying (which i always prefer instead of flying VIPīs somewhere)...
For that kind of work (spraying, fire fighting, cargo work), the "old fashioned" gauges work best for me-because i am used to them.
The only modern equipment in the heli is my own gps which i am using..
With the modern glas cockpit instruments, you shouldnīt loose time reading the indications-everything should be presented in colours and/or within specified limitations....
In fact-i do not see THAT big differences in the systems..
As long as possible i will stick to the "old fashioned" syle...
