I cannot help wonder about a generation of "heads down" pilots.


"heads down" following a gps map.
"heads down" looking for other traffic on a computer screen.
"heads down" flying on glass cockpit instruments in vmc conditions.


Please correct me if I am wrong, but these systems will not show all traffic.


Each time I visit my favourite airfield (Fenland), Ray in the tower would often say to inbound traffic " keep a good look out as there is a non-radio aircraft inbound"
Everyone was looking out, everyone was safer.
