<DIV>Probably the avoidance callers between both lines makes sense. He could be consider a third judge. If he sound the horn means that both pilots has the right to bail out and they can resume the fly. It has to be organized. The pilots flying in line A will be instructed to go down and cut the engine. The pilots in line B will be instructed to go up. Of course if they are rolling they will need to stop rolling. We need to think what needs to be done when we are flying vertical. It could be one bail to the right and the other bail to the left or just both cut engines. The avoidance judges will be the pilots that just finish their rounds.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't think that the pilot's caller can pay attention to both planes. He is busy trying to help the pilot and reading the next manuever. </DIV>

Believe me when I say that calling avoidance and breaking the sequence is not something that you want to do in the heat of competition- it can really throw off a good sequence. Having said that, with fewer mid-airs in IMAC perhaps we can conclude that allowing sequence breaks to avoid potential mid-airs makes sense for pattern too. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P

My first may have been avoided, but the last two were a complete shock to both me and my caller. In fact, in mid-air #2 my caller said "you're good" (meaning we were not going to hit). The other pilot's caller walked up to me and apologized saying that he told the other pilot that he was in the clear. Therefore, I don't know how effective a third "spotter" sitting between the lines could be.</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext

The first light bulb was Vicente's suggestion of the spotter that warns the pilots. The second event was my walk out to pick up the fragments of my beloved Brio. As I was walking back I stood for a bit to observe the planes looking down the flight path. It was amazing how clearly you can see each plane as it moves in and out from the flight line. </SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black

These two spotters could use radios with headsets and continually talk to each other. There are many times that planes appear to be close to a mid-air from the flight line viewpoint, however, the number of times that both spotters would be alarmed should be fairly
minimal. When this occurs the spotter could sound an alarm (this deserves discussion as to the details) and each pilot could peel off of their course. If one pilot froze the collision may still be avoided by just one pilot taking action. Sure, this could cause a mid-air, but viewing from two dimensions should help in alerting only when an impact is probable.</SPAN></FONT><FONT color=black><SPAN style="COLOR: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
