Angel Stay cool.

Mate, I'm often up around those levels, climbing or descending. I occasionally get an idea that there may be traffic around and generally try as I may, I never see it.
Many thousands of hours have taught me that see and avoid doesn't work, and even know, see and avoid mostly doesn't work. I work on the 'intelligent big sky theory'. Do what you can but don't be worried or upset by anything that happens. As the stats show, the main danger is near or in the circuit. At 094 you could proon all day long with more chance of being killed by a man eating mosquito than having a mid air. So stay cool and enjoy the flight.
