The only people who can state categorically that a loss of separation is an AIRPROX are the pilots or controllers invovled in the incident. The replays and investigations can say what happened, why it happened and how it happened BUT it cannot say that the pilot should have reported the incident as an AIRPROX because in the investigator's opinion it was - the defintion is specific in that it is only the pilot or controller at the time of the incident who can say that
Bolleaux!
Every and I do mean
every reported LOS/Airprox is investgated by a panel of "Professionals" drawn from CAA....BALPA...AOPA...BGA...RAF...et al. You get my drift?
If it's a Hawk overflying a Microlight site...or 2xB737s getting close...
in the opinion of the Pilot or ATCO...there
will be an investigation
OOI [off the top of my head] An AIRPROX has occurred if there was less than 5nm/1000ft sep or 3nm/1000 in app mode.
