We’ll be installing soundproofing too. And a thicker windshield. Lightspeed headsets will come with the plane, and Garmin avionics are easy to use, like most others—just takes some practice!

weight add to that issue?

Will anything be done to diminish cabin noise, such as a thicker windshield and soundproofing cabin area?

New headsets?

I have read in past AOPA articles that the learning curve for the Garmin instruments…especially if changes must be made fast in traffic around larger airports…is challenging. Is that true? Secondly, does Garmin have competitive glass instruements that are easier to learn and use…especially for a pilot that does not have that much air time…or flies infrequently?
