![]() True, but nowadays most of the complexity is in the G1000, not the engines. I'd trust a FADEC in an airliner long before I'd trust a G1000. Many glass cockpits are far too complex and far too poorly tested. An airplane will keep flying without a PFD, all of which require backup. It will not keep flying without an engine- another example of your flawed logic. It's odd that pilots would object to a more modern engine on the one hand, but are more than willing to install the iffy technology of a glass cockpit. In your limited opinion it is iffy technology, but it doesn't matter anyway, since you'll never use it other than in a game. In reality, most piston engines simply require setting the power for take off, then cruise, and finally descent. It is not hard at all to do, nor does it add dramatically to the work load (and I have two engines to consider in my plane). So losing things like mixture and prop control really wouldn't take anything away from the pilot, anyway. So why not do it? I never said we should or should not do it- another example of your twisted responses. Rather than defend or justify Anthony's now increasing list of comebacks and partial responses, or criticising the other posters, why not answer his question? Why haven't you answered the question yourself? Because the premise of your question was incorrect, and you are a non sequitor. |
