1.) Glass cockpits suck monkey bits2.) Sure, holding attitude is a pain in the butt at altitude, once I get it trimmed to hold the right speed, George takes care of keeping it that way3.) No.4.) There is no magenta anything on my HSI.

1. No.2. No. Use it sometimes, maybe 20% of the time.3. No.4. No. Nothing magenta in the cockpit unless it's a line or text on a paper chart.Have fun up there,Kevin

None yet all of the above :-rotorDifference in spice makes for a healthy appetite as we say here, meaning variation is the spice of life.So I fly the 727, 747-200, 737-800, C177 and C421 (with sometimes others as well), in a variety of ways. Helps keep it fun.

1. I use modern glass cockpit avionics (YES|NO) -- no2. I use the autopilot extensively (YES|NO) -- yes3. I do autolands (YES|NO) -- no4. I follow the magenta route by hand (GPS or FMS generated) (YES|NO) -- noI am a big RFP 747-200 fanRH

"magenta lines" as wonderful technology

Donny AKA ShalomarFly 2 ROCKS!!!Glass avionics- I'll say yes. No real preference but lots of planes I like have themAutopilot: 80% of any flight is usually cruise where I usually use it so yes. A major part of the "fun" is checking the acuracy of planning after (burn, time etc). I have even been known to read books on flights over an hour or make dinner. Wouldn't do that in real life but in a lot of the planes I fly in real life there would be a copilot to talk to.Autolands: Sometimes but way less than 25% so no. When I'm used to a plane if it has even basic IFR capability like ILS and such I like cranking ceiling down to 200 and vis to .5 or .25 NM and handflying touch and gos.I don't usually see a magenta route but I usually get on course to my first waypoint or VOR/NDB and climb by handflying rather than turning the autopilot on right away.

Usually no to all. As with most everything in life, there are exceptions. I usually fly GA.Nick

Yes to all, almost all of the time, with the occasional VFR flight in between

yes to first 3 no to 4

1. Yes2. Yes3. As required4. NoTechnology rules, steam is for ships. :-lolMike T.

1. No2. No3. No4. NoOccasional yes to 1-3

I used to be into the glass cockpits - but now I've switched over to just GA flying and I enjoy the standard old fashioned gauges, so I'd say no to all now.
