[NSRCA-discussion] Mid-Air discussion

In looking at it, why not offset each line 30'.  Total of 60' offset between the two lines. This would put the box boundary on one side of each line at the flight line. Would make the "diamond of death" much smaller in area.

  AWESOME...That's EXACTLY what I was looking for. I'm pleasantly
surprised...it does significantly reduce the overlapping footprint.

Another "benefit" of this offset is that there will be FAR fewer incidents
where the planes will APPEAR to be in danger. Because of that, we might be
able to react more aggressively regarding avoidence, since there will be a
LOT fewer disruptions with reduced close calls. I.e. It won't feel like the
boy that cried wolf so often.

Also, with airplanes coming together from two distinct angles, the pilot and
callers ability to see a collision course is MUCH higher as the perspective
will allow a more accurate evaluation of depth.

Interesting...I like it.
