Okay, increases your reaction time to one second. Psychologically 1 second always gets lost because that is the time the brain needs to become alarmed.

In the area it is likely to happen - less than 10K feet, there is a 250 knot speed limit for this purpose alone.
they said nothing on areas where it is likely to happen, so all arguing here is highly hypothetical.

Let'S see when the full report gets published, or at least more details get known.



I forgot the links, btw:

And to make one thing clear, this thread I do not mean to bash anyone, or to generally discredit NASA, air traffic, or the FAA. Just to show that obviously very many close accident situation are never being told to the oublic, and that the situation obviously is worse than was previously assumed by the FAA.

Okay, I have nothing more to report on this story.
