Being one that would generally follow the quadrantals even below transition altitude and therefore 'long transit' at 1000, 1500, 2000, 2500 or 3,000 depending on heading and/or terrain, this thread is quite an eye opener, (especially as i thought that we all generally followed the same thought, with a 500' seperation in mind).
It seems that I might as well pick a height for the best view for the day, switch all the lights on and hope peeled eyes and the TCAD show where everyone else is
Just because you don't have to doesn't mean you shouldn't!
