Just saying what? Do you even know how TCAS works on departure and recovery?

I am astonished that they could find a collection of controllers who didn't think a departing stream of aircraft were relevant traffic for a 4-ship on the break. Given that the passage of such information is both routine and expected I agree with the board regarding the pivotal role this had in this incident.

I also think the Typhoon pilot did well picking up the confliction from an obscured aspect whilst juggling his position, formation and noise abatement requirements. It is so easy for your scan to focus on the 3 playmates ahead and not spot the shark coming from below.

The Tornado crew didn't have much chance and in truth their IFR clearance didn't offer any protection and I have no idea what the Secretariat was trying to say when they stated that the Tornado and Typhoon shared an equal responsibility for collision avoidance.
