Allow me to clarify with my stupidity.....look between Miami and New Orleans...planes flying east(38000ft) are 1000ft below planes flying west(39000ft) virtually same flight path, thats what I'm looking at.

I believe he’s talking about vertical separation, in which case they are often 1000 feet apart.

I get what you're saying but you worded it poorly at first
The OT is pretty ching chong potato so I wouldn't worry about none of them getting it and laughing at you

They’re also a few miles apart when they pass each other. They account for return flights on this. No, you do not ever get within 1,000 feet of another plane. Fighter jets are so quick they never get within a mile of their targets, nevertheless a thousand feet.

There would be many collisions if that were true
Reduced Vertical Separation Minimums (RVSM) actually exists to avoid collisions.

And they’re a few miles away too, which makes sense because often the take off ramp is the opposite of the landing ramp and that puts them a few miles off from the returning flight when they intersect.

how far do you think 1000 feet is

I’m an airline pilot, and planes absolutely get 1000 feet apart vertically (if they’re both RVSM certified).

Used Flightaware when I traveled its a great app. Pretty cool seeing your flight path especially when they were flying around avoiding storms.

On a clear day I can look overhead and there's nearly always at least one contrail.
The last time that wasn’t the case was 9/11/01 when they grounded everything. It also gave scientists a unique opportunity to study the effects that contrails had on surface temperature and if they reflected enough light to be noticeable

You takeoff and land into the wind. Never land or takeoff with a tailwind.
The 1000 feet of vertical separation is for aircraft that are in the cruise portion of flight not takeoff or landing.

Yeah nah.
Traffic is separated vertically by AT LEAST 1,000 feet on the airways but horizontally the limits are much more stringent.

Friday is a known Chemtrail day so this makes sense.

I started a shitstorm with my incorrect vocabularity.

BINGO!.....wish I knew about RVSM before I posted
Posted on 1/14/22 at 5:55 pm to 3Son
I think 1000 feet is where alot of the "oh shite" alarms start going off. Sticks rattle and such.
