I believe they do not have any aircraft that with standard

Comments appreciated.


I think glass IS the standard instrumentation anymore . I dont think
you can buy a new plane with round dials (Exept for a few specialty
airplanes like the American Champion . Even most LSA's come with at
least a MFD . In order to answer your question you need to ask what
type of flying you will do . If you plan to fly an old Cub then dont
worry about a modern panel . I think it would be cheaper to train in a
modern plane for the IR because of the ease of use you will get done
faster .
