Get Your Head Out of Your....Cockpit

摘要

I had the pleasure of riding along with a friend a few years ago when he got his first EFIS-equipped airplane. He and his instructor were marveling over how easy it was to fly with all the cool toys in this modern technological wonder. We were returning to our home 'drome, a non-towered airport, on a busy Saturday afternoon. We were probably doing about 175 kts or so, but even at 10 miles from the airport, they were both still staring at all the cute little TCAS symbols as we prepared to enter the pattern. Nervously, I said from the back seat, "Uhhh, guys..?" as I pointed out the window.
