Well, that's 60 years of Radar separation standards going out of the window. Makes you wonder why we bothered to impose 3 or 5nm. Still, it is good to know that cherished, & strictly applied, separation standards were all a complete waste of time. All those airmisses/airproxes which SRG wasted their time investigating. If only they had realised that those sort of standards could have been dismissed so easily. Glad I am out of it.
