It is rather difficult to see where he was exactly in relation to the avoid range if at all. You could not judge approach angle nor see the indicated airspeed. Besides the avoid curve is just that. You try to avoid it however there are some aspects where you cannot. You just use your best judgment to minimize the time there when possible and plan for ways out if things do not go as planned. It appeared to be a smooth approach.
