Flyingriki is right.

I mean, the accident statistics speak for themselves.

Flying was way safer before flying existed.

Poor Lt. Selfridge. May he RIP.

But it took nearly five years for airplanes to claim their first victim.
Wright's first flight - 12/17/1903
Wright's crash that killed Lt. Selfridge - 9/17/1908
That was the longest time between accidents in powered flight history. I guess we haven't really gotten better.

Pretty sure fatalities per mile OR hour flown are significantly lower now than even after those 5 years without a fatality.

I’ve trained many pilots to fly VFR and IFR in glass panel Cirruses, DiamondStars, experimentals, and so on. I can’t tell you how many of them had no idea where they were, even with a 10″ full color moving map directly in front of them. When asked the simple question, “Where are we right now?”, you’d be surprised how many have a tough time coming up with an answer.

Sounds like you're doing it wrong then. Maybe they need to find a new instructor...

The last time I got "lost" was before I got my PPL, long before I ever saw a glass panel. Never with a glass panel in front of me, lol.

I love the G1000 AND my paper charts
