With the navigational aids and up-to-date information available to us all these days, I'm struggling to see a reason for an increase in infringements.
Compared to 30+ years ago when I first started flying, my workload when flying VFR is probably a tenth of what it used to be. All down to huge advances in highly accurate, affordable and idiot- proof electronic aids.
It's no longer an excuse to blame a simple navigational error, a mis-set D.I or winds not as forecast, so what's the biggest reason for the increase?
