Exercise 10.4.13 Translate the following sentences into English.
1.Минимальное расстояние ВС зависит от воздушного пространства, в котором они летят.
Интервал на маршруте чаще всего выражен в минутах полета.
Это единственный возможный способ контролировать расстояние.
Опасность возникает, когда ВС меняют высоту полета без согласования.
ВС, выполняющие полет по ПВП? могут набирать высоту или снижаться через ЭП ППП без предварительного согласования с диспетчером.
О многих случаях опасного сближения не докладывают.
Вероятность столкновения в воздухе остается небольшой.
В противном случае радиочастоты были бы заблокированы.
Хорошие диспетчеры всегда дают информацию о движении.
Боковой интервал между ВС во многом зависит от страны, в которой они летят, и от этапа полета.
