Obviously that’s false. Just look at your picture. It’s apparent they’re mere inches apart from each other.

This is TD HOF dumb-worthy:

You'd come across as far less of a moron if you changed this to say some of these planes are coming as near as 1000 feet to each other.

Yep. And your clarification will never be remembered. For years to come people will ask about the poster who thought the majority of planes flew 1000 feet behind each other.

OP was correct and this thread is full of a bunch of wannabe know-it-all idiots.

Hey you know how when you look up at the sky on a clear day and see planes flying right behind each other?
Me neither.
Me neither.

The faster those planes fly, the less fuel they use...just like cars.
Just for clarity, the above is sarcasm. I was tying this thread to the thread about high speeds equating to better gas mileage.

There are more molecules than people in most countries.

Standard ATC separation in the Center environment is 5 miles laterally or 1000 feet vertically. 5 miles is not a lot of room at jet speeds especially with wind at their backs.

2 planes within 1000' would be considered a near hit and an FAA investigation would ensue.
I think it is historically normal for there to be 600,000+ people above the US in planes at any moment.

Huh

My understanding:
Definition of aviation near miss/hit:
The horizontal separation standard ranges from 3 to 5 miles and drops to 1 mile under certain conditions near an airport with parallel runways. The vertical separation is 1,000 feet for other instrument traffic and 500 feet for visual traffic.

It is 1000 feet vertically for IFR traffic in the center environment which is pretty much all airspace in the country except 17,000 feet and below (generally) around metro areas.
Once you get in Tracon/Tower airspace the separation standards are lower.
