..so why are you focussing on your own "crack"...

Do not be a sook
I agree, crack.

Sorry "crack" I didn't realise it was you that the RA "happined" to.

See this... ? It's called a 'wink'. Typically, it indicates a tongue-in-cheek slant to the preceeding comment.

Now 'harden up' crack, you big sook. It was only an RA.


Meanwhile this event is another reminder to be on your toes if you fly through "third world" airspace and where English is not the mother tongue and technological nous does not come naturally.

A good example of why it occasionally pays to listen out to the transmissions of other aircraft in addition to those of ATC.

Also:
If the two aircraft passed each other with seperation of 125m vertically and 800m horizontally then this would've placed the NZ aircraft off to one side not "over the top".
