Yes, I can't wait to do the IPC with John to finally fly this thing IFR with those large displays, but it's difficult to get the time at the moment -- new job and all that (something I'm sure you can sort of identify with :-). Haven't tried the music yet -- perhaps a touch of Techno would be appropriate...Hamishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08238239589217873611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7056175.post-1136911674472375982006-01-10T08:47:00.000-08:002006-01-10T08:47:00.000-08:00Nice post Hamish.

I had a chance to fly one of my FBO's G1000 172s before Christmas on a perfect VFR day and, like you, found that once the pre-start procedures were done, it was all pretty comfy to use. My friend (and CFI) who was riding in the right seat also managed to select a few good tunes for a series of touch and go's (Synchronicity II, Song Two...) which is a pretty nice feature!<BR/>While this was a very broad intro to the system, I can see how learning to fly instruments on this might take some getting used to. However, situational awareness and instrument scan must be simplified tremendously by the large displays! I actually can't wait to get checked-out on it for instrument flying. <BR/>It does make you feel like a real pilot, doesn't it?!:)Capt.
