My only regret is that we don't have giant attitude indicators like airliners used to have!
We do! (Although not electromechanical like airliners used to have.) This and similar avionics suites now available in several certified light turbine (VFR only) singles, including B505, E480B-G, R66 (in a less complete form), Agusta 119, B407GXP, and others coming. Typically include synthetic vision, HTAWS, ADS-B In & Out, active traffic sensor, Nexrad wx, geo-referenced approach plates, and other capabilities, and in some cases, an autopilot capable of flying coupled approaches. In the case of the 505 and 407GXP, there is no longer a standard steam gauge option. However, slow in coming to the helo world. In the fixed wing world, this equipment has been available in even the Cessna 172 for 10+ years. As an instrument rated pilot for almost forty years, after flying this setup for the last three years, I have no desire to return to the good old days!
