Unfortunately, that programming you mentioned makes the difference between going to Seal Beach or South America. Thanks for mentioning the training materials. As complicated and daunting as the glass can seem, the training materials and software simulators can take most of the bite out of it. If nothing else, hooking up a GPU to the aircraft and playing around with the panel on the ground without the "expensive fan" running is a great way to cut the transition's Hobbs time.

No question garbage in/garbage out is an issue. However most people decipher the PFD very quickly. Where they generally fall down is in programming the GPS and operating the autopilot correctly. If people spend more time reading my G1000 Book ahead of time, they'd spend a lot less time getting checked out while that very expensive fan is running!

I suppose it's only natural that as computers invade aviation so to does the concept. “GIGO,” or Garbage In Garbage Out, has been around in computing circles for many years.
