Why did it get that far? If I'm the Baron I'm thinking, "I can't see the traffic, I won't see the traffic in IMC, why is this guy waiting for me to spot this plane?" If you *believed* that he was really in the soup, why not just pretend the VFR target was a lost-comms IFR guy and gotten the Baron out of the way? Plus if two aircraft are 2 miles apart and you turn one 90 degrees, by the time the turn is completed they will have both covered a mile. My mental image of this is that you're turning a situation where the two course lines would converge to a sharp point into a situation where they would converge in a nice rounded corner. -- Ben Jackson http://www.ben.com/ |
