Default Ooops ... incident at Santa Fe

I guess this shows the difficulty of figuring out what's underneath you. I
guess if you hear about traffic but do not see it, you should assume it is
right where you can't see it rather than safely away from you. Just
speculation, of course.


Sadly, in a way, this reminds me a bit of the Avenger vs. RV at Osh this year,
only with a lot happier ending. A simple clearing turn here and there would
have prevented landing on what you could never see underneath you. (without a
little S-turning)

Is this not commonly taught to students, in landing procedures?
