I'm wondering what people think of the new line of glass cockpit GA planes. I've had a chance to see one of the new 182s, and got to play around with the computers on a training display at my FBO. It seems to me that some of the engine read-outs are a bit small, such as the tachometer. Plus I would think it might be difficult to get accustomed to the airspeed tape which doesn't stand out like the needle on a typical gauge. Might make it difficult to capture airspeed trends, ya know? I know the guys who fly jets have no problem with it, but it just seems overly advanced for my tastes.
What do you guys who fly these aircraft think? I'm probably the only person who isn't a fan of the glass cockpit for GA aircraft, but I was just curious. The GPS display is nice, though.
