While it may be common to find some very spartan instrumentation on an open cockpit biplane at the local fly-in, the level of complexity increases exponentially in turboprops and jet cockpits. Maneuvering on a GPS approach at a low altitude is different than taxiing at a busy airport in low visibility during an arrival rush.
