And there is the answer.

I myself don't do visual separation on take offs, and rarely on landings.

Huck,

Therein lies the difference between a military trained pilot and a one from a civilian background....you should be in awe of our prowess.

Now that I have read all six pages of the response to your question ATC, it is obvious most of those I was addressing are on this forum....

Keep up the good work!

Girls...Dont get your panties in a wad!

It's not worth fighting over.

Bottom line is its the Captains decision to accept visual or not. Obviously we are all not going to have the same response. That's O.K. too. Just as long as were not flying into each other out there or getting the "call me on the ground" from ATC.

Seems were doing pretty good on this one so far!

What was the spacing between the AA Airbus and B-747 in New York when the vertical stab separated?

What kind of wing ice do you expect at FL330 at .82? Ice crystals, adhering to the wing? Unlikely or impossible. Lot's of accidents over the years due to ice buildup on on the wings but at high cruise and high mach.......name one?
