Skip also has valuable information. It is unfortunate the pilot got to the point where he was the thick of it to begin with, but ultimately, the pilot is in command. As an Air Traffic Controller working in the great lakes area, my job is to keep the airplanes away from each other. If a pilot tells me he is turning even if I've told not to due traffic, it is considered an emergency automatically and slightly different rules apply. I will keep all the other airplanes away from you! Believe it or not, this happens frequently during thunderstorm season. If it ends up that separation was lost i.e.. less than 5/3 miles, 1000'/2000' or whatever the case may be, a report will be filed. Wouldn't you rather fill in a report over a casket? Yes, "give them a very wide berth", it makes my job easier. Thanks Kevin Neefjes
