fish 300 metre airmiss!!!

For info to passengers.
Vertical separation in the approach phase is 1000ft.
When banked over in a turn, e.g. whilst holding, you may find yourself looking down or up at a B747 which is only 1000ft away and the illusion is created that the separation is lateral when, in fact, it is vertical.
Looks a lot more punchy than it really is.
