I don`t think just the FIS/RIS mixup is the only issue in that report. Just look at the wording, the aggressive attitude, the whole "it`s everybody elses fault but mine!" tone. (sorry, flypuppy, you have to read it to see what I mean) It looks just like a Daily Mail Shock Horror Scandal! article, rather than a "what did I learn from this?". In essence, he blames the airmiss more on having to speak to ATC at all, than any radar information. I am sure that chirp published it just to make those points. Anyway, I just hope he stays away fromany airspace I`m in!
