The layout of the instrument panel was fine IMHO. Could be tweaked a little but I liked it. The analog Standby Attitude Indicator was difficult at best to use due to parallax. The digital version removed that problem but was still just under the usable size for using during an ILS.

The Rockwell Collins FMS was easy enough to use from a 'programing language' and interface point of view.....if...*IF* the keys didn't stick. Can't understand the need to deviate from a 'Qwerty' keyboard, maybe for size(?). Reaching around the Thrust Lever quadrant was a pain, but doable.

I missed the Rockwell when I went to an aircraft with a Universal FMS, but I think it was a law of primacy issue.


Better than most, worse than some.

Over all I miss flying the 'Big Rig' <----- dosbo's avatar.

Just my opinion that I am sure some one will have a problem with.
