Well, just always fly at an even or odd altitude plus or minus 250
feet and you won't have to worry about that.


Then you're just going to collide with the other aircraft that are doing the
exact same thing... grin

About a month or so ago, I was flying from New Orleans to Houston and was
down low checking out the scenery in the swamps... I was at 500 ft... Next
thing I know, another aircraft flew UNDERNEATH me... I saw him go under my
left wing and then come out under my right wing... He was perhaps flying at
200-300 ft...

One could assume that one could just allow their altitude to vary +/- 250
feet while flying at a normal altitude to decrease the chance of a
collision... Basically make the target a little more like hitting a moving
and dodging target instead of just a moving one... grin
