From the context of the questions you have asked you do not have much personal knowledge.

So good idea to post here and get a much more considered reply. Might also be worth looking for a copy of January's Flying magazine. It has a very telling article from a flight instructor on her views of people learning in what in the US is called a TAA - Technically Advanced Aircraft - actually a Cirrus.

It essentially says if you teach people to fly in a TAA - using the auto pilot and glass screens - they have insufficient flying skill to manage the aircraft if the autos give up - which then leaves them with only the 'chute as an option. A very thought provoking article.
