. Scary stuff.
Could probably have filed an 'AIRPROX' but there didn't seem a lot of point. It just reiterates the need to keep a good lookout.
I find that attitude quite disturbing. Accurate data on events like this are vital for the Regulating Authority to make informed decisions regarding airspace allocation and approach/departure/transit procedures. What if your incident was not an isolated one? Maybe there are other factors that are causing aircraft to converge on the same piece of sky in opposing directions? When considering filling out an incident report, think about the lives of fellow aviators you might be saving. Too many of our aviation regulations are written in the blood of innocent people.
