Increasing risk of collision over turning points???
I quote from the CAA Accident Prevention Leaflet 1 of 2002 March. .. ."With increased use of GPS, pilots are now often tracking exactly overhead features which they nominate as turning points, increasing the risk of a collision with others doing the same thing.. .. .We have reminded pilots and air trafiic controllers that 'VRPs' marked on the CAA charts are "visual reference points", not "visual reporting points".. .. .Traffic is recomended to report its position with reference to these 'VRPs', but not to overfly them, and certainly not hold over them unless in controlled airspace."unquote. .. .Does the CAA have a valid recommendation based on reported airmisses or are they not in the real world General Aviation?
