BW,
Some very valid points, certainly your stance against the old adage that midairs can be avoided by just looking harder.
As you further say in theory it would be possible to eliminate all midairs with a technical device.
But as I said in the opening post, how about the human behaviour which seems to be the root of most GA/Aviation accidents?
TonyR, I am very interested in the human factors, and even more so since I was lucky enough to visit the FAA in Oklahoma and attended a lecture on the subject, the fond of knowledge over there is very impressive. When I tried to discuss this after a CAA safety evening I was met with a rather luke-warm 'We know all of that already' reaction.
Well maybe so but they, at least on the evening that I attended, did not seem to be able to convey the messages in an attractive, interesting, educational stimulating manner. Big shame.
