Will I lose it?

Posting bonanza today. (excuse the pun)

Anyway, Lots of thoughts have crossed my mind since ground on the G1000 today. Everything is so easy (assuming you're current on the knobology), and I wonder: If a pilot has limited time to fly--say 75 hours a year--and chooses mostly to fly on G1000 aircraft, do the hard-earned IFR-on-round-dials skills dissolve? Does it matter?

a) Depends on how deeply the round-dial skills are engraved.
b) Only if you're going to fly round-dial planes in the goo.

Thanks Ron! That does makes sense!

Ben, look into something like a mid 70's skylane. Prices will never be better. Then just fly it and never worry about what's for rent. With the back seats out, it's a CELLO bed.

Get a partner if you must. Now's as good a time as I've ever recalled.

Thanks Bruce! I will seriously consider that!
