I could say that I have never seen such garbage as the last article in this post, but the garbage-verbage continues to flow out of the Brazilian media. If the statement is true (which I doubt, but let us just suppose that it is) that the Brazilian ATCs advised the Legacy pilot that it was flying under "radar surveillance" and not "radar vectoring," then it was the certain obligation and responsibility of the ATCs to separate the Legacy by another 1000 feet in altitude from planes known to be flying in the area, and thus the accident would not have occurred, i.e., under vectoring the planes are separated by 1000 feet, but under surveillance the separation must be 2000 feet. Thus, either the Legacy or the Gol should have been ordered to a different altitude by ATC, as soon as they knew there was no vectoring.<BR/>It is always convenient the way the press here obscures the truth.Tenney Naumerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11843130378338023902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466117244747937509.post-33536739959367905192007-10-25T10:21:00.000-04:002007-10-25T10:21:00.000-04:00You know Joe, your demeaning attitude is very frus...You know Joe, your demeaning attitude is very frustrating for those brazilians who have accompanied your blog, even supported you in many domestic dilations about the facts and interpretations and all the mess following the air accident(s).<BR/>For, even if Santos-Dumont's father was french, even if the family moved to France was he was eighteen, he got most of his education at brazilian schools and from the Escola de Minas in Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, an engeneering school founded in 1876.<BR/><BR/>And blah blah blah...
