Pilots, Refresh Your GA Training!

I havent flown in a year. There, I admitted the embarrassing truth. Shame on me. Its time to rejoin GA, which Im starting through some recurrent training. In March I wrote here in strong support of cockpit-specific training-something I also needed. You see, my airplane has a lot of cool toys Ive yet to really master. Garmin kindly offered to train me on the primary combination and it was an eye opener.

Key Takeaways:

• Pilots often lack the necessary in-depth proficiency for both modern Technically Advanced Aircraft (TAA) systems, especially for complex operations, and for traditional "steam gauge" cockpits when trained exclusively on glass.
• This proficiency gap highlights the inadequacy of current training and potentially insurance mandates, which may not sufficiently cover mastery of specific avionics.
• The article strongly advocates for pilots to obtain and continuously practice specific training relevant to the exact equipment they fly, emphasizing "use it or lose it" for panel proficiency.
