Glass vs Traditional gauges for PPL

[kris15]

Hi Guys

Sorry if im treading old ground here but..

I am keen to start my PPL and a being where i am there is quite a few places to look around from you big flying schools to a couple of aero clubs.

Some of the places i am leaning towards have aircraft with glass cockpit while another has aircraft with the traditional gages.

Is there any real advantage one over the other especially at PPL level?

Any advice is much appreciated

Thanks

Kris

If you're moving on to being a professional, the sooner you get on them the better. Even if you are not, life is much easier with a glass cockpit. Experienced pilots have to learn to declutter when they transition over - you won't have that problem. It's a modern world......

There are definite advantages, as Paco indicates, to early familiarity with the latest equipment.

The most important element in choosing a school, however, is the quality of instruction. If you can receive marvellous instruction in a "traditional" cockpit, that's far more desireable than receiving crap instruction in a glass cockpit.

Focus your researches on that question as a priority. Decide on the attractions of the kit later.
