******"it's not true that new is always better in every way"**** But in
Avionics it is true, VERY true.

There is NO comparison. The glass cockpit is vastly superior to the old
electro/mechanical gauges in EVERY respect, especially in reliability.

I spent decades flying corporate King Airs, all with the miserable old
stuff. The old stuff is pure junk and always VERY expensive to maintain.
This last decade I've been flying the Falcon 50EX and Lear 31A, both with
glass. Hands down winner. A good comparison would be the old Magnavox consol
TV, which needs a resident technician, and a modern TV, which never wears
out till you throw it away.

I've never noticed at what point in the GPS startup the VOR receiver in
the
430 starts working.


I'm talking about a standalone steam gauge VOR. And while true, glass or
no
glass, GPS needs to acquire satellites, my point is more along the line of
"it's not true that new is always better in every way" - glass or GPS or
Windows.
