Has anyone seen one of these yet? I've only seen pictues, but am dying to get to use one in real life. They look kind of like the default 737 panel...

Here's a picture of one...

...it's comforting to notice that they've retained the usual get-you-home-safely, vacuum and gyro instruments when the circuit-breaker blows on the glass panel electrics... Shocked

LOL...!

I don't think that picture is of a 172, unless they decided to put a constant speed prop on it. I've been in a few glass panel 182s and a few Pipers with the Avydine displays, they're really cool.

I've flown a constant speed prop 172 with a turbo-charger and retractable gear and just about every other doo-dad you could ever want, except a glass panel. But my dad's company just helped work on a new hangar going up at the airport and the owner of the hangar had a 172 with a G1000 in it. It was pretty. Grin

Our school has two of em!

of course they are still running the old steam guages, but they are still a little better than the regular old 172's...lol

I've flown a number of 172s with constant speed props as well. But they stopped making those in the '80s.

Yep, I seen those on Cessna's website as well. They are good looking. Though in my personal flavor, I like the old analog gauges the most Wink
