Interesting discussion

A few observations on various comments.

ravan, I think we can all appreciate what is or isn't taught is a role for CASA in setting the syllabus. As you rightly say the instructors are teaching to standardize program.

27/09 I couldn’t agree more that there is a tendency to fly inside the cockpit. I do this myself. I wonder if I was actually trained to fully use the features of a glass cockpit and EFB from the get go, this would help establish the correct balance between eyes up or eyes down?

Dexta, you raise a good point as to whether or not an EFB is safer than the old wiz wheel. If it is safer we may need to keep this on a NTK basis otherwise it will become mandated.

Cheers FT
