Pilot clarifies ‘collision course’ not a possibility

The pilot remarked that traffic in the air does not work in the same way as road traffic where a car may, without warning, appear in front of another vehicle from an alley connected with the main road. He said that a pilot from one aircraft can spot the other plane when it is within 40 nautical miles or 74 km, giving it enough time to change position.
