The smell of badly burned parrafin wafted into the cockpit and caused me to slow down. On looking UP, I saw the APU exhaust of a B747 about 3m in front of me! He has stopped, presumably to check his position, and not told the Ground freq.
I would suggest that that was too close. |
See and avoid still works, on the ground, too.
Perhaps the problem is in the "looking up." One ought to be heads up all the time, especially if one is in a position where one needs to "slow down."
I've never seen a standard or requirement setting an in-trail distance during taxi.
