TRAFFIC ALERT! TRAFFIC ALERT!
There it was, right in front of him. The altimeter
was nailed at 7,500 and the DI was right on the bug set at 358. CJ was the
yahoo.
CJ should not be so hard on himself. The line between even+ and odd+
may be an exact mathematical number, but nobody can fly that exactly,
and even if they could, there would be people flying 358 at the same
altitude as people flying 181. It's a fact of life. And all it takes
is a slight crosswind for the 181 degree aircraft to need to fly 177 to
maintain course, and then 181 again. There is going to be some overlap.
This doesn't even count the folks descending or climbing through an
altitude.
The hemisphere rule is intended to get "most" folks out of the way of
"most other" folks, "most of the time". I do not consider those who are
on the edge of the hemisphere to be yahoos, whether they be even+ or
odd+. That's what eyeballs are for.
