It is not about saving a bizjet! If you both come together you could both die.
Yep, I think we just about worked that out.

Strangely, we also worked out that if a couple of light twins come together you also both die.

Even more strangely, if two light singles come together the result is vaguely similar.

I am afraid aircraft aren’t to choosey about whether they are pretty bizjets or a couple of old Turkeys.

Reality is there is far less chance of a Bizjet hitting another aircraft firstly because the time they spend OCAS with a Farnborough departure is minimal and they will be fitted with TCAS.

Sorry if I took MikeJ’s comments literally, and even with my usual cynicism I don’t suppose NATS are really providing this service to aid the controllers threading the odd bizjet through those nuisance light aviators!
