Honestly, I love the idea of a more modern GA airplane… but I think that for most people, stick and rudder skills are the least of their worries. Don’t get me wrong, people do stupid stuff all of the time, but I think the real improvements that you can bring are in the flight planning and monitoring software. A moving map with range heatmap at present conditions, warnings as options get closed out, airfields within glide range under present conditions, audible warnings and stick shaker if you do some kind of stupid cross control fuckery or need to lower the nose of the aircraft, etc. Sort of a co-pilot system that keeps you up to date with options, conditions, checklists, vectors, etc. Most accidents are a result of bad planning, and even an overweight or poorly functioning aircraft could be detected early in the takeoff roll with accelerometers. If you had a system that could keep up on realistic plans under the circumstances of the flight, it could go a long way towards improving flight safety.
