Do you have evidence to back that up in the case of the 412 in Spain ?

B.g

No I do not have evidence. I believe I read a discussion that it was a possible scenario. I understand that the accident happened at about 30´ agl where the 412 was lifting off and the Jungmeister coming in for landing.

I was merely speculating of the dangers of too much modern computer screens, expecially in single pilot operations, and how that could possibly lead to increase in inflight incursions as we are seeing lately. But I also entirely agree that flight instruction, as in the case of the German accident, requires that more attention inside the cockpit and it had this tragic outcome.
