Default Scared of mid-airs

I think several people in this forum with extensive experience over
several decades of operating high performance aircraft worldwide have
expressed the well founded opinion that visual deconfliction is not
significantly degraded or inadequate at operational speeds. You seem
to be unwilling to acknowledge experience of others in areas in which
you have no familiarity beyond your own opinion.


The deconfilction task rests on two pilots, the high performance one
(who should be so trained) and the low performance one (who was, in the
example, the one hit). To expect a typical 172 pilot to be able to
deconflict at F16 speeds is ludicrous, but that is what is being asked
when an F16 at full bore is the conflicting traffic.
