Browsing through the 'GA Feedback' pamphlet which came with my copy of GASIL today, I noticed the following:
We are all the same, whether we are new boys or very experienced, only as good as our last landing, and whilst I have about 20,000 hours and over 40 years experience, I am just as likely to make a mistake as anyone else. In fact, due to my age, I am probably more likely to err than young, skilful pilots.
I think it is safe to assume that this is not the same chap as Genghis encountered.
I must say I would have done the same as Genghis, simply on the basis that since I couldn't see the other aircraft the safest thing would be to stick to my existing trajectory. Anything else would seem just as likely to take me into his path as out of it.
