Boyd,
If there was no risk of collision, why did the TCAS issue a RA?
it means that the two aircraft were within 20 odd seconds of colliding.
Please answer this.
What is the "standard", for want of a better word, that VFR pilots apply to determine that they are NOT a collision threat to other aircraft?
Did they tell the Virgin pilots they were there?
did the vfr pilot have the slightest idea of the intended flight path of the jet?
For answers to these and other exciting questions, stay tuned folks for the next exciting episode of NAS - 'Nother Airspace Stuffup!
do you know what 250 knots indicated is actually? what was the tas/ground speed?
did the vfr pilot have the slightest appreciation for the rate of descent of the jet?
the answer is in all probability no.
why do people who really have no idea immediately tell us that nothing is wrong?
