Air miss" involving two planes flying out of Liverpool John Lennon airport under investigation

The passenger flights had taken off at around 7pm last night.

Peel Airports spokesman Robin Tudor said the two aircraft were 4.6 miles apart, and separated by 900ft in altitude.

The incident was classified as an "air miss" and will be recorded in the Mandatory Occurrence Reports (MORs) because the statutory minimum distance between two aircraft is five miles.

Interesting ....were these two flights departing LPL but outside the zone...or two departures which were too close  ,  within the zone?

It sounds like a basic TCAS indication which happened to breach the five mile limit.
