Great respect to the Turweston AGO using PilotAware/ATOM ground station for averting what could have been a far more serious situation between a CAP1391/SkyEcho2 equipped RV9, and an ADS-B/TCASII equipped Phenom
Airprox Report
Using the VECTOR data as an overlay to the report image captured for each system on the day in question, probably highlights the issues of visibility from the perspective of the Phenom, and the RV9

Airprox Report
The Board first looked at the actions of the AGO. In providing an AGS, they were not required to provide Traffic Information, other than to pass on known position reports from other pilots. Nevertheless, the PilotAware ATOM provided the AGO with information that the Phenom was approaching from the north, and the AGO broadcast this information to the circuit traffic. The Board commended the AGO for their actions;
Looking at the actions of the RV9 pilot, having heard the AGO give a warning about the approaching Phenom (CF6), they looked for, and became visual with it, at a range of around 500m (CF8) and took action to increase the separation by climbing.
Using the VECTOR data as an overlay to the report image captured for each system on the day in question, probably highlights the issues of visibility from the perspective of the Phenom, and the RV9
