The delusion continues - the Launy incident was a bloody
Airprox.And the Tobago pilot was a bloody idiot. You talk about dirt road services, well that event was about as appalling as it gets without there being a collision and was totally in accord with your beloved US procedures. Rather demonstrates how dirt track they are. The fact is it nearly killed a plane load of people.
Believe what you want Dick, but when you come out with pearlers like that you do yourself absolutely no favours.
Maybe you'd care to re-familiarise yourself with the actual report:

The Tobago pilot thought 2 degrees at 15 miles would be enough - the fact is he clearly had no understanding of nav tolerances and didn't consider what would happen if his estimate for the passing was out by even 30 seconds. You bang on about pilot arranged separation - well this wasn't even arranged. It was a guess from someone who clearly had not a clue - the lives of a plane load of paying passengers was put in the hands of the clueless.
