LEARNING SKY TALK: "Resolution Advisory"

 
In the airline industry, 
a "resolution advisory"--
is a polite way of saying
"Oh shit" 
 
A growing niche on YouTube
are the pilots and wannabe flyboys
who recreate Bad Sky Moments
out of graphics, radar and
air traffic control tapes.
 
Two Airbuses
out of Los Angeles (LAX)
had a conflicting moment recently.
 
Anti-collision alarms 
sounded in both planes.
 
It's the graphic at 03.55 
that best illustrates 
the coy "Resolution Advisory"
mention heard at the end.
 
That's what an "RA" is.
