wrote in :: I consider the "Big Sky Theory" to be shorthand for the statement that decreased traffic density decreases MAC risk. There are lots of examples of the practical implementation of that theory. Two that come to mind a Gene Whitt has some nice comments about choosing less-common altitudes below 3000 AGL during cruise or avoiding flying directly over the local reporting point because the even altitudes and directly over the reporting point are more heavily trafficked. I presume that is contained somewhere he http://tinyurl.com/f5ck6 http://www.whittsflying.com/Page3.42...t.htm#Avoiding Other Aircraft There's lots of good advice and information there. Thanks for making me aware of Mr. Whitt's contributions: http://www.whittsflying.com The FAA has discussed this issue in several contexts, including: GPS direct routing, increased vigilance at VOR station passage, increased incidence of MACs near airports and the implementation of WAAS systems. I wasn't able to locate links specific to those FAA references. |
