Put another way I never flew ANY glass till about 300 hours ago and still regularly independently instruct in BASIC six packs, I also never even touched any GPS till I was half way through my instrument training. Ive done localizer BC non precision approaches using basic NAV/LOC REVERSE sensing just fine. Just wanted to clarify my previous experience instead of feeling like I just got put down for setting hands on a "too capable" airplane to be a "good" situational IFR Pilot.
This response reads like someone who can't take criticism/advice very well.
It also sounds like you think you are some gift to aviation for being able to fly a LOC BC.
I would have expected some response like 'Thanks buff.....I do keep a hand in old style instruments'.
Maybe buff, in his experience at Ameriflight, has come across a few 'glass babies' who have struggled with transitioning 'back' to glass and was offering some sage advice for someone hoping to move on from instructing.
