Flying along the Atlantic Coast recently I glimpsed the future of aviation without even realizing it at the time.
Enjoying my unique view of the sunlight glimmering on the waves as they pounded the sandy beaches below, I noticed out of the corner of my eye a traffic target on my DiamondStar’s Garmin G1000 flight display. I looked right and spotted a Mooney approaching the coast from the west at about my altitude. I could tell from our converging flight paths that we would both probably end up in roughly the same spot if neither of us altered course.
