If flight schools cared about students they would get a 'cub-esque' type trainer. Private training you don't need much. Time building, you don't need much. They brain-wash kids into thinking they NEED glass time. What the junk is glass time anyways? Can you make a separate entry in your logbook? FWIW I flew some of the first g1000's years ago before going to the airlines. I thought they were nice, but not really necessary. I actually flew the g1000 for the last 300 hrs or so before starting in a regional turboprop. That was a pretty rude awakening. No moving map, no trend vectors, no display right there with everything on it.
