Lawsuit in HPN accident

and given that all of the various
visibility and cloud clearance requirements are designed for the sole
purpose of avoiding obstacles

Well, if you consider other aircraft to be obstacles, maybe. But as I
see it the visibility and cloud clearance requirements are designed for
the purpose of giving aircraft time to see and avoid. Something pops
out of a cloud, it takes some time to see it, recognize it, and avoid it.

Yes, I do. How hard would it have been for you figure that out, seeing how
just before the statement you quoted, I also wrote:

"...everything to do with avoiding obstacles (terrain, buildings, other
aircraft, etc.)."

But as I see it the visibility and cloud clearance requirements are
designed for the purpose of giving aircraft time to see and avoid.

How is that incompatible with what I wrote? Especially when you take into
account the part of my post you obviously didn't read the first time?

Duh! My bad!

I guess I need new spectacles. Yeah, that's it!
