... VFR-on-top: [Description snipped] I know what VFR-on-top is. It's nice to see you know too. But so what? We aren't talking about "VFR-on-top" (well, we weren't until YOU brought it up). A pilot flying VFR is required to observe "see and avoid". One pilot observing "see and avoid" and taking appropriate evasive action can avoid a collision. One day, when you've got a few more hours, you'll realize that you had better not trust the other guy to do your "see and avoid" for you. If a VFR pilot is climbing/descending, it is his responsibility to avoid pilots above him or below him. The IFR pilot cruising at 6000' is ALSO responsible for avoiding pilots climbing or descending through his altitude. A pilot flying IFR under VMC who is not observing "see and avoid" is not a very smart pilot. I agree. But if you feel that way, what is the point to all of your other "contribution" to this thread? For a professional writer, you sure seem to be having a big problem getting your point across (whatever it happens to be). Pete |
