Moving from Steam Gauge Cockpit to Glass Cockpit

Sport aviation is growing rapidly. But the new sport pilot / light-sport aircraft rules are still a mystery to many flight schools and instructors. To locate a flight school offering sport pilot training and/or light-sport aircraft rentals, click on the "Flight School And Rental Finder" tab above. This is a great place to share ideas on learning to fly, flight schools, costs and anything else related to training.

100% correct with the Dynon legacy glass. I wear eye glasses 24/7. The polarized clip on’s I have make many LCD screens unreadable. Sometime my iPhone is hard to read and even the display the gas pumps can unreadable. Turn you head sideways and you can read them but you’ll get strange looks. :mrgreen:
Must be uncomfortable sleeping.
Retired from flying.
