Braveheart - thanks for that info. From my point of view I have to try and maintain 5 miles separation from unknown contacts. Not easy when the SH36 or ATP is doing 200 kts (or less) against a very fast mover. I would start trying to avoid the conflicter at 10+ miles, but if it is turning/manouvering/climbing then it is well nigh impossible. How far away would you stay from traffic ? Cos the problem is that I don't know if you can see me. Even if you're VFR and decide to miss by 4.5 miles, I'm still working my arse off (and scaring the pants off the hosties) weaving around the sky to avoid.

Some of the Lossie Tornadoes might do well to take your more responsible attitude - that's all I'm saying

But as they're not here to defend themselves, I won't say any more.

PS Do mud movers know where the 'ON' button is on a computer, or do they just use it for porn ?
