    While the PFD is reasonably intuitive and easy to use, some familiarity with Electronic Flight Instrument Systems (EFIS) and Horizontal Situation Indicators (HSI) is required. Aspen Avionics strongly recommends that new users of the PFD get some dual instruction from an experienced instrument CFI, and spend some time becoming familiar with the PFD in day VFR conditions with a safety pilot, before flying in actual instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).
