Whirly,
Nice to see you back
The glass cockpits I've flown have been iterations of earlier types, so the 'glass' has been easier to cope with: but I wish there was more commonality between manufacturer's end product. The CP of HNZ mentioned a few years ago that he declined endorsement on the AW139 as he considered that he would be unable to fly it enough to maintain a good working knowledge of the systems, a byproduct of our ever more complex cockpit environment, I guess. Looking over the likes of the S92 it impressed on me that the move to 'systems management' is more prevalent in new, larger helicopters and as we move to airline based operations.
For actual conversions, the other feature is the reliance on sim training: Geoffers would be a good source of tales to be told? A mate is joining CHC to fly 225's out of Broome WA, and is off to Aberdeen where his total endorsement training will be Sim based. I guess that his first flight in the type will be when he gets back to Oz!
Flying remains the same, though. Pull up with the left hand, cows get smaller. Push forward with right hand, cows disappear quicker. Push down with left hand, cows get bigger.
