Earlier papers, based on a computer model of European air traffic, deal with the probability of conflicts arising between pairs of aircraft operating under free-flight rules. This paper discusses the problems of resolving these conflicts. When a potential collision takes place in the neighbourhood of other intruding aircraft, these must be taken into account when choosing an escape manoeuvre. A suggestion is made that may ease the problem.
