Kamikaze/Samurai - All depends which part of the valley you are from.
Only those of us who know will understand the above statement. 2 near hits, 2 calls to their Chief Flight Instructor and two statements given to the FSDO. After the POI inspected them they "don't much come north no more."
If you fly in the practice areas around phoenix you not only need horizontal seperation but also vertical. It is nothing for 3 different aircraft using the same block of airspace. One at 3,500, another at 4,500 and another at 5,500. (NOT HOLDS EITHER) You definetely will have a sore neck after a few hours of instructing.
