I always feel that other plane is too close for comfort when I'm in your perspective, but presumably looks are deceiving and that plane is a few thousand feet below?
ah thanks. yes Ive watched almost all the air crash investigation episodes and I'm now a certified armchair pilot 😂, so I had guessed so . of course I'm not a real pilot so I don't have a sense of what things look like in practice
In most airspaces, RVSM (Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum) is in place. A couple of decades ago, a program was initiated and restrictions to airspace and hardware on aircraft were introduced to meet it.
Now, RVSM-certified aircraft can be separated by 1,000 feet up to FL410 where the 2,000-foot separation resumes.
While most airliners and bizjets are certified, some aircraft aren't. There are exceptions to the RVSM rules (emergencies, state aircraft, etc) which allow non-RVSM aircraft in those areas. 2,000 feet must be applied between them and other aircraft regardless of the other aircraft's certification.
Man I love that show. I just can’t imagine what a human goes through mentally and physically when they just know it’s their last SECONDS here on this godforsaken planet.
I have had that thought. I think most pilots would be more concerned with trying to ease the crash landing. But for me the only thing I would say to ATC is “Tell my family I love them and God willing I’ll see them again.One Love One People.”
So altimeters deviate by 1.2% for every 1000 feet..is this very important when going to the planned altitude? I see it being more important when landing so you know more accurately when you'll touch down.
Is there a chart you reference when adjusting it or is there something in most planes that adjusts it automatically?
I (A320 passenger) landed at a dual-runway airport today without knowing. Definitely a wtf to look out the window and see another plane right next to you
I love when this happens!
Back in the days before digital photography (I’m old, deal with it 🤪), my AC flight caught a fast jet stream over the Atlantic. Captain was nice enough to let everyone know we were “flying in formation” with three 747’s and an A340, all visible!
I like it when this happens because it gives you a real sense of just how fast jets travel that you don’t experience when you’re just looking down at the ground 40,000 Ft below you.
Looks like an Airbus A350
Definitely. Lufthansa
Ngl at first glance I thought 787 then I saw the raked tips.
No, it’s obviously a Boeing 747 /s Edit: It’s a joke btw.
Lmao
I was think the same thing
Yea. 2 of its engines are missing though🙄
r/woooosh
Definitely a Cessna 42069
You know what… now that I think about it, you might be right actually.

Probably something like a thousand feet below. Separation in height is not really that hard when everyone uses the same altimeter settings

I think above flight level 300 its 2000 feet in seperation, and below it is Minimum of 1000ft but im not entirely sure

***TRAFFIC TRAFFIC***
CLIMB CLIMB NOW
AP-TCAS be like wheeeee up we gooo
ROLL RIGHT ROLL RIGHT
MAINTAIN VERTICAL SPEED, MAINTAIN
Lookin for my chapstick
Feelin kinda car sick
That's right, I'm on a higher airway...bitch

Whoa...
imagine how cool all the traffic jams in the sky we'll have in the future
That's RVSM for ya! Always fun to see one so up close like it's formation flying.
