Cool

MaxAlt;

In your senario, there would be nothing to report. Standard separation was being applied and no separation was lost at any time. I know that many in Europe feel uncomfortable with our style of operation, so be it. It has been amusing to hear of one British Operator in and out of Sanford in Florida who choose to go into a small class D airport due to cost and they seem terrified of all of the wee folks flying around <G>...

As to the comparisons with the PSA and the Cessna many years back. That is apples and oranges as far as separation was concerned. It was not Class B (There were no such things back then.) and the 727 had reported the Cessna in sight and cleared for the visual approach to visually miss the Cessna. The crew either misidentified the Cessna or lost sight of it, that was never clearly determined.

regards

Scott
