1000 feet vertically and 5 nautical miles (10 in oceanic airspace) lateral separation with speed control and one-way systems utilised too.

Aircraft also have onboard computer systems called TCAS so that each aircraft knows what’s around it and if anything even looks like getting too close screams at the pilots. Air Traffic also have similar systems on the ground.

It’s very clever and extremely safe - the sky is a big place!

I heard a pilot once say that the chances of two planes meeting in the sky was basically nil but the job of air traffic control was to put them all much closer together to increase the chances. For example if I wanted to fly to New York I’d follow the M6 south, pick up the M54 then the A458 until I got to the sea then I’d then stop and ask for directions. You might take the M62 and keep going straight. I’d barely see you let alone run in to you.

I think every air transport and certainly a pvt/commercial has to have a transponder it’s not something you can switch off if you fancy.

I know they do mate, I'm into my planes like you but sometimes they don't show up.
Maybe I've read it wrong which it's looking like.

Wtf is going on

Literally nothing. Ferdinand posted a tweet to wind up city fans and that has apparently caused around 20% on this thread to become rag ITKs.

I'm not remotely concerned he's off to United until we brief we're 'confident' of getting it done.

Mortgage on Utd when that happens.
