Airplanes and helicopters are technology. Those who pilot them seem to do a great job flying them. A friend involved in the Lively recovery was amazed at the technical skill of his pilot being able to land on a postage stamp near Consultation Lake. The marriage of skill and technology.
It is very easy to cherry pick failures of technology...like a SPOT saying someone is Hogback Rd. when they are in the Cottonwood Lakes area. On the whole, these advanced or maturing technologies work or our agencies would not use them.
