[NSRCA-discussion] Mid-Air discussion

[Jerry Stebbins]

Mark, another consideration is that now you are staring to encroach way into the landing and takeoff zone. That would have to be considered now as a judges ok to land/takeoff criteria.

By the way several years ago one of the practice fields at the NATS  did have about a 30deg. overlap at center. Most who tried it started waiting and flew one at a time, or went somewhere else. The peripheal flinch factor was too much.

  Mark I was just going to say that nobody had mentioned the sun yet with the offset it would put the sun in play both in morning and evening, according to field orientation.

    I doubt there are many flying sites that could accommodate that, and it by necessity puts the sun in one of the two boxes...

      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.
