mm flynn, I am not here to do your background reading for you, I was merely pointing out to another poster that the AAIB do more than investigate crashes.
I can recommend reading their site more thoroughly as there is always something to be learned from each accident or major incident.
There have been recent fatal mid air collisions between light aircraft equipped with GPS. It is feasible that over-concentration on the display may have prevented an effective lookout. In VFR flying one's eyes should be mostly outside, GPS encourages the pilot to stare inside.
