Well, ya know what they say - 99.9% boredom and 0.1% sheer terror...
My compliments, none the less...
Now, I know that the airlines will keep the flight crews capable of
doing what you just did... But I have my reservations about the glass
panel in GA...
Fella on my field, Tim, is doing his IFR rating right now, in his
Mooney with Garmin glass... We were chatting and he commented that his
instructor had said that holds would be challenging...
Tim says, "I don't know why he said that... I just fly to the spot on
the screen, keep the pip on the little racetrack, and follow it around.
Piece of cake."
The hair on the back of my neck literally stood up... I had goose bumps
on my arms when he said that... Yeah, he has a backup Narco with an ILS
head on the other side of the panel... I doubt that he can use it for
real, on a dark night, in turbulence, with sweat fogging his glasses,
leaning way over to the right, and that sick feeling in the pit of his
stomach... And he is the kind of personality who is going to use his
rating to fly real IMC as soon as he is signed off... Gawd help him if
the magic smoke leaks out of the glass panel...

Don't take me wrong.... The revolution in electronics on the panel is
wonderful, but the pilot needs to be able to go back to steam gauges
and shoot an approach to minimums, like you did, when the brown stuff
hits the fan...
