Glass Panel, Garmin 430 WAAS GPS, Autopilot, and ADS-B. ($165/hour "wet")
"Glass Panel" digital displays are the future & you will learn these, as well as older "steam gauges." VOR and ILS are still very much in use, but GPS has become the go-to navigation system. Learn it all here.
Dual Garmin G5s provide glass panel training. With the Garmin 430W color moving map GPS, and the sophisticated Garmin autopilot, it is TAA. Your time in this plane will mean you do not have to get an extra 10 hours of Complex Aircraft time for your Commercial Certificate. You save $$ thousands.
Sure, you can get an instrument rating just wearing a "hood" (view limiting device). It is far better to learn in IMC (Instrument Meteorological Conditions). That is, in clouds and rain, often with no visual reference to the ground.
What does it cost and how do I pay?

Great fun! Not quite perfected yet, but getting used to the plane. (Note: aerobatic flights and training not currently available in I Fly Aviation planes.)
Great footage of a majestic historic aircraft, against a spectacular backdrop.
