Perhaps, but they got much closer than they should have. Try timing 18 seconds. It's a very very long time between an instruction to turn and it's commencement. I agree with beagle inasmuch as had the ATC turn instruction been complied with, the Voyager would have remained inside the control zone and passed well clear. But the ATCO took no action when his instruction was not complied with which surely warrants criticism. It would be interesting to see the full transcript. Was the 340hdg instruction acknowledged?
