Did you refuse the clearance? Did you MOR them?
Peter, it is clear that your 2 infringements and the subsequent management of the process has affected you badly and made you super bitter.
However to suggest that the system automatically adds extra feet and miles to the infringement to make it extra bad is non-sense.
What matters whether the infringement was just that or whether as a result of the infringement other action had to be taken and that is a matter of chance after the infringement as the infringing pilot does not know if there is traffic nearby.
Whether action needs to be taken by the controller does indeed depend on what the rules are for managing infringing aircraft and as long as they are 'unknown' the additional miles and feet are added - that this is different in the UK to the rest of Europe is neither here nor there, it is what it is.
What is not good is that an infringement where there was no risk is dealt with as a criminal offence, that is clearly not proportionate. That should get changed and the likes of AOPA should be lobbying for that. To go back to the analogy of the traffic offences, a minor speeding offence does not attract a criminal conviction….
