As stated above, it reduces your chances of colliding with VFR traffic because you will be at a different enroute altitude than VFR traffic (e.g., 5,000 feet vs. 4,500 or 5,500 feet). |

Steven P. McNicoll writes "Mike Rapoport" wrote in message ... How many enroute mid-air collisions have there been in the past century? At least one. I can think of at least four. One in mid USA over the Grand Canyon. Constellation/ DC-7 One over New York DC-8/ Super Constellation One over Yugoslavia Trident/ DC-9 One over Switzerland (or that region) quite recently Flicking through one of my books I spotted a couple of others. Would include civil/military accidents? -- ----------------------------------------------------------- David Francis E-Mail reply to ----------------------------------------------------------- |

Depends on how you define enroute I guess! :-) The collision took place at 5,000ft. But I agree that it might be described as the descent or initial approach phase. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- David Francis E-Mail reply to ----------------------------------------------------------- |

Well, since the collision occurred at low altitude while the Constellation was on approach and cleared to land, and the DC-8 cleared to a holding pattern to await approach clearance, I don't think it fits any reasonable definition of enroute. |
