Hi BOAC;
...while not wishing to keep on clapping my hands to keep the damn Oozlum bird flying, surely it is equally an 'onus' on any crew, knowing the existing reduced seperation, to add to John S's simple doctrine...
No worries BOAC - I think we're all clapping in unison!
Yes, agree with you entirely - this goes to the "
giving in to automation / not understanding one's airplane / maintaining situational awareness" discussion though. Solutions, offered in the AAIB Report, suggest that among a few, offsets may be routinely considered. Here's one reason why - he's 2000ft above. And I've been hit by wake turbulence from a B744 1000ft above, opposite direction as we passed right under him - very sharp, 20deg roll, then nothing.
