Explore what makes glass cockpit airplanes different! More Info »

This book is for everyone who flies, wants to fly, or instructs in general aviation glass cockpit airplanes. Glass cockpit technology offers general aviation pilots increased levels of safety and performance. Unfortunately, these increased levels of safety have not materialized. A recent National Transportation Safety Board (NTBS) study analyzing data collected between 2002 and 2006, showed fewer total accidents for glass cockpit aircraft but higher fatal accident rate and a higher total of fatal accidents.
Why has the promise of greater levels of safety for glass cockpit airplanes not been realized? Because, general aviation pilots and training providers have not yet evolved the way they train and fly to catch up with the advances in glass cockpit technology. Flying general aviation glass cockpit airplanes safely and effectively requires new approaches to how we train pilots, plan our flights, and fly these airplanes. This book provides glass cockpit pilots and training providers the tools they need to understand and master this new way of flying.
