Subject: Re: Memorable flights? Gurus in the sky... by Matt26R on 2009/5/13 14:24:02 It's pretty common to see other aircraft if you fly on a regular basis. A few years ago the Feds changed the separation requirements at altitudes above 29000'. Now we only have 1000' vertical between the aircraft vs 2000' previously (Westbound aircraft fly at even altitudes and eastbound traffic is at an odd altitude). The airplanes and crew have to be RVSM certfied to fly above 29k so it isn't a big deal. Better avionics,etc.... I've been a professional pilot for 20 years (9500+hours) fwiw. I currently fly a Hawker 800 (corporate jet). I don't have any horror stories for you.....it's all good up there!  I like to say that Aviation is 100% successful. "We've never left one up there" |
