Deciding between a traditional round-dial cockpit and a modern glass cockpit can be a big deal for some pilots. Round-dials teach you hands-on skills, while glass cockpits use fancy technology to help you see what’s going on around you. Learning these differences will help you pick the right kind of cockpit for you.

During an instrument approach or on a standard terminal arrival route (STAR), autothrottles relieve the pilot of the throttle-jockeying work during required speed changes. If the autothrottles are switched off or become inoperative, the flying pilot can easily revert to flying the aircraft by adjusting the throttles manually.
