My favorite G1000 moment: I inherited a student from another instructor and she had never flown a round dial before. I failed her PFD on her and told her to maintain 2000.' She stared at the backup altimeter and exclaimed, "I don't know how to read that!"
After I managed to pick my jaw up from off the floor I explained to her that it was like reading a clock and to her defense she responded, "Oh, that's easy, what's all the fuss about then?"
"Nothing, just remind me to smack your old instructor across the backside of his head."
