nærpasseringer
Nærpasseringer, also known as close encounters, refer to instances where two objects, such as aircraft, ships, or vehicles, come very close to each other, often within a distance that could result in a collision if not avoided. These events are typically monitored and recorded by air traffic control, maritime authorities, or other relevant agencies to ensure safety and prevent accidents. Nærpasseringer can occur due to various reasons, including human error, equipment failure, or navigational mistakes. They are often analyzed to identify patterns and improve safety protocols. The term "nærpassering" is commonly used in Scandinavian countries, while "close encounter" is more prevalent in English-speaking regions. Regardless of the terminology, the underlying principle remains the same: the importance of maintaining safe distances to prevent potential collisions.
