The Airprox Board categorized the incident at the highest level – Category A – meaning there was a serious risk of collision. Our Radar Analysis Cell works alongside the UK Airprox Board, UK Border Force, Air Accident Investigation Branch, and other agencies, providing critical radar data to support incident investigations and continuously enhance UK air safety. The Airprox Board agreed that the avoidance of a collision in this case came down largely to providence – that is, essentially, luck. 15% involved general aviation aircraft in conflict with military aircraft, while 7% involved military aircraft conflicting with other military aircraft. ✅We also talk to the UK Airprox Board about a recent incident at a gliding site.
