LONG TIME NO HEAR

Akkers
Long time no hear, thanks for the two factual examples.

In terms of someone's earlier comment re IFR dropping out of cloud onto VFR immediately below, your examples have jogged my memory that most factual IFR out of cloud problems involve commercial pressure and descent below LSALT - far higher risk of being promoted to angel status than the fictitious example quoted earlier.

Most of my near misses have been at Moorabbin GAAP with the two runways and ATC in the tower watching. Hey, I think the NAS suggests the nearer the landing/takeoff the higher the risk. More factual examples. One becomes a tad complacent when Big Brother is guarding - all comes back to see and be seen in my mind.

Hope the PhD is progressing well.
Cheers
