    This questionnaire is to help me answer questions related to the safety of operating Technically Advanced Aircraft over traditional General Aviation aircraft.

    Please answer each question by STATING IF YOU STRONGLY DISAGREE, DISAGREE, NEUTRAL, AGREE, AND STRONGLY AGREE.

    1. Extensive ground training should be mandatory prior to ever flying a TAA?

    2. TAA should be made into a logbook endorsement? (e.g. tail wheel, high performance or high altitude)

    3. Pilots who fly both TAA and traditional “steam gauge” aircraft should be required to maintain currency in both separately?

    4. The advanced avionics in TAA add to a pilot’s situational awareness?

    5. TAA are safer than traditional General Aviation aircraft?

    6. Pilots who get their primary training in TAA rely on the flight instruments too much during VFR flight?

    7. Pilots who train in TAA are not going to be able to transition to traditional GA aircraft very easily?

    8. I fly a TAA I don’t need to do any fuel planning it is right in front of me on my MFD!

    9. TAA can be a crutch to a pilot with bad Situational Awareness?

    10. TAA is the way all aircraft should be configured. (Moving map GPS, autopilot, FADEC, Etc

    "I think the market is answering that question for us. That answer being yes. Nobody is building them any other way."

    Like most things in life... You can't make sweeping generalizations. I did my PPL and multi in 1970's airplanes. I did all my instrument training and all the rest of my time in a TAA (I own a Cirrus). It wasn't that hard for me to transition. The hardest thing for me to learn was how a GNS430 works.
