Any other pilots out there believe they can avoid a jet in a light aircraft, if needed?
Mr Munroe; running political interference, now? Are you paid to write this stuff? Because it's fairly embarrassing for you, otherwise.
simple old-fashioned beat-up
RAs are now routine beat-ups?
The Virgin Jet was speed-limited to 250 knots
Well, that's all right, then! At least if a jet collides with a lightie at 250kts INDICATED AIR SPEED, the jet may maintain enough structural integrity to land safely.
Had there been a collision risk he would have spoken up or taken avoiding action
You mean like the jet did? Obviously the jet was wrong
I am ready to be convinced that a lightie can 'choose to avoid' a jet. What do you do- pull up sharply at the last minute (and move opposite to the RA)? Turn, 'cause lighties turn so sharply
? Or just pray that your transponder is on and accurate?
