Got it.

First, I don't see you placing much emphasis on getting me to the Fast Twin stage like some of the other members here. Is there something going on in your experience that causes you to not care so much about the Twin, yet?

Second, you placed no emphasis at all on first learning to fly Conventional Instruments and learning how to work the numbers manually in-flight as a practical matter. Does this mean that in today's GA, having grass roots (hard core) conventional instrument skill and knowledge is no longer necessary (so-called steam gauges)? What happens when/if the Glass fails?

Don't mind the soapbox. I need it.

Thank you for the input!
