There are several different sides to the concept of improving as a pilot. On one side is the purely physical part of handling the controls and the situations better. On the other is the largely mental part of running the various systems that are on board a given airplane. As we move up in airplane size, most often, the flying basics still apply, but the load of managing the systems increases to the point that it becomes as much of a challenge as is flying the airplane. Today, so many training aircraft have glass cockpits that we're seeing brand-new PPLs that can fly newer "spam cans" more comfortably than many super-high-time gray dogs. Plus, younger generations have been brought up with PCs, so they're more comfortable with the concepts represented in glass-cockpit management.
