I'm not knocking the the 162 at all. Quite the opposite! LSA and Cessna's new plane are huge steps in the right direction for the future of aviation. Our planes aren't getting any younger and they're not being replaced as they are destroyed.

It is that MFD system that I'm not too sure about. As these planes age, will they be a tough sell on the used market with the buyers knowing that an avionics malfunction could cost as much as an engine overhaul? I think that breaking these new electronic avionics and gauge systems down into individually replaceable systems is the way to go.
