Why did I choose a Lear and not a Boeing-class cockpit? Well, there are several reasons:

• The Lear 45 has a cleaner and simpler cockpit. Not so many switches, knobs, etc. so it is cheaper to build.
• Did I mention that there is NO upper panel? Things are so much simpler.
• Lear 45 has a reasonable range so I can use most of the routes I'd "fly" with a B737.
• It has a modern MFD layout so I can "fly" a modern aircraft equipped with the latest technology.
