I know I'm not some happy larry who gets excited everytime I see two aircraft, cross, I threw in the deer valley because this is spoters balcony and afterall it's kind of intersting to see the pilots performing the move turning onto final for two parralell runways at the same time. However Is it normal procedure to pitch down and throttle back, and the other aircraft to pitch up and throttle back, everytime you meet another aircraft.. Maybe I was wrong. just saying what I thought I saw. Maybe this was just the SOP on that particular approach for noise abaitment or whatever I have no idea.
I don't proclaim to be an expert I'm an enthusiast who saw something that I've never seen before and came here to ask you guys who are the experts what actually happened, thats why i said not saying I witnessed a near miss in my post. Didn't put it up to scare people or anything else i was just slightly intrigued, more so infact about the plane in Dallas actually because I've definately never heard anything like that before. I didn't want to get chewed out for it Rainboe. How do you know I'm not a nervous flyer?
