"Some of the more common, and preventable, incidents involve poor situational awareness, largely as a result of the overuse of GPS."
At first I thought Sir Niall was confusing the date with April 1st. Had to check my copy of Clued Up first and yes, there it is.

Unbelievable.

I don't think I have ever read anything as idiotic about aviation as this comment.

Poor situational awareness is due to GPS? In which cave and which century do these people live? The REALLY scary thing about this comment is that it comes from someone professionally involved in aviation.
