Just wondering but did those two aircraft come closer to each other than they should have?
""737 and 777 each was visual with the other throughout the incident Not the most exciting miss in the world"" OK so on that day they could see each other, what about tomorrow?
It either was an error or it wasn't.
A bit like the "Re-training required!" thread. In that one 411A
got nailed because he ignored a warning because he could see where he was going and flew on regardless (good on 411A in that example)
Make your minds up, should the SOPs, and separation rules be followed ridgidly all the time or adjusted depending on what you see out the window?
On a lighter note if every small incident in aviation was reported in the press then your "daily" wouldn't fit through the letter box, would it????
