Oh, don't read my words the wrong way, Lou. There's no problem at all when the learning process takes place after every incident. In fact, it's a big pro that it does.

Regarding your 'flying is much safer today' statement, I can fully agree there although we're talking about much more "filled" skies every few years. The amount of traffic is enormous and still goes up.
So modern avionics like those G1000 devices in even the small GA planes are not only a nice tool but maybe a life safer here and there.

It's amazing that those GA people can even get some realtime satellite weather in their small aircraft together with a detailed traffic display to avoid the airliners and other GA fellows.
This won't be of much use for that bush flying pilot, but as most GA planes start from more or less dense areas, these inventions actually increase safety for all planes around them.
