Is it just me?
The Gympie MAC involved two octogenarian pilots.
This one, two septuagenarian pilots.
I’m in the latter category and I know I’m having to concentrate much, much more I than I used to, just to be situationally aware around busy GA airports. I can honestly say, it is an effort now where once it was a total non event.
It could be that the last 30 years I had been flying the latest and greatest from ILS to ILS, traffic for the most part was handled by ATC and then the miracle of TCAS arrived to make things even easier, thus losing the knack of seeing with my ears.
