Glass big learning curve?

(not the same PDF/MFD but
close).


Well, not really, according to what most people write. They say the
Avidyne is easier since the 430 is extra. The G1000 is much more
integrated and thus more complex.

That said, IMHO two points are worth considering:

1. As you noted, there's a vast difference between flying VFR and hard
IFR with these things.
2. IMHO there is a big difference in how prepared pilots arrive for
learning a new aircraft or system. FBOs would probably adapt their
requirements to the lowest end of the spectrum.
