The Aviation Safety Division of the Transportation Safety Institute of the Federal Aviation Administration of the US Department of Transportation defines:
"Near Midair Collision (NMAC) - An incident associated with the operation of an aircraft in which the possiblility of collision occurs as a result of proximity of less than 500 feet to another aircraft, or a report is received from a pilot or flightcrew member stating that a collision hazard existed between two or more aircraft."
If we implement NAS procedures must we therefore institute the implicated and relevant US Air law to support the operation of that airspace and the operations within that airspace or does this leave the situation somewhat defunct?
Or do we disconnect from the "Conga Line of Ar$e Sniffers" , dare to be different (for once Australia) and fix this mess up?
