Even if the higher aircraft has to maintain 5000 until over the VOR to ensure a totally accurate position comparison, then so be it.
I do fly a bit. I get the concept of mutually arranged separation. It assumes each aircraft is aware of and communicating with each other.
Do you reckon AEM and JQF were aware of and communicating with each other? I don’t reckon they were, and I reckon there’s a reason.
