Shagpile,
Fixed cards are NOT dangerous, the utrained and unaware use of them may be, but, they gave you a great understading of your spot in space
RMIs, HSIs and glass cockpits are all the go these days, but after many years of training on glass and non glass, I find the current reliance on glass to not always be in the best interets of good overall SA.
Auto dependence is the current danger for a lot of us.
