Guessing you meant 6-pack/steam-gauge trainer, since anything with a G1000 put in is virtually guaranteed to be IFR-capable.

There's no hard requirement to learn one versus the other. If you're a new student today and looking to go to one of the big-boy airlines you'll probably never need to fly a 6-pack if the school you pick has G1000's.

Yup! Sorry, glad you caught on :)

Maybe my point was rubbish, just wanted to highlight that the learning curve is --> this is an IFR instrument + how it's represented/actioned thru our avionics suite

For sure, something bigboys might be happy to hear you covered in your ATP
