Snip The glass panels are fitted to airplanes that are expensive
/Snip

They are in every single engine model currently produced by Cessna from
the
Skyhawks and up. The Garmin G-1000 costs no more then conventional gauges
when installed in one of these new aircraft :-)


Expensive compared to my $50,000 172N, which for the average FBO is all the
plane they need. What I will not deny is the visual appeal of glass-panel
planes, which will attract customers, though I'm not sure this is an
entirely good thing.
