Absolutely sensationalist piece of journalism in this mornings Melbourne Herald Sun about it. Headline said aircraft came within 90m of each other. Then later in the article it says they came within 1NM (1.8KM) horizontally & 90m VERTICALLY. Also crapped on about how passengers refused to fly back with same pilot and they had to fly another one in. Really..? Or did they have to fly another one in cos the GPS was U/S in the 1st A/C and couldn't fly out safely in the conditions..?
They also named the pilot with a nice photo of him for all to see (presumably copied from company website). Article made him sound like an incompetent bumbling idiot. Pretty unfair until the full FACTS are known. Its not as if he's some newby who just got his instrument rating. Very experienced and well regarded operator prior to this incident. All very strange.
