Readback November 2017

I am pretty much all in with all the latest wizbangs-syn vis, AOA, MFD, ADS-B In etc. in my V-35B, plus of course the great PFD. All this works perfectly with my legacy autopilot and it will take me wherever I want.I too discovered that I was really getting sloppy with my hand flying in challenging conditions and resolved to make letting George fly the exception. Sometimes we split the route where I fly out George flies back. I like flying the airplane and becoming more aware of all that I have on display in front of me, but it does take more effort and concentration.

Key Takeaways:

Pilots using modern cockpit automation (TAA) may experience a decline in hand-flying proficiency, necessitating deliberate practice, simulator use, or a return to basic flying techniques to maintain skills.
While offering a longer renewal period, BasicMed is perceived by some pilots as a more cumbersome, stressful, and detailed process compared to traditional FAA medical exams.
A key benefit of BasicMed is its "pass/no pass" system, allowing pilots to reattempt the medical examination without FAA involvement, unlike the "pass/fail" nature of standard FAA medicals.
