Incident Overview
Shortly after departure, the flight received radar vectors that placed it near a VFR reporting point. That point was located 4 miles past the departure end of runway 32 and 2 miles east of the runway centerline.
Sequence of Events
Approach control issued traffic advisories indicating two Boeing 747 aircraft: one climbing northbound and another on departure from runway 32. The check pilot reported seeing the Boeing 747 climbing northbound, which passed in front of his aircraft and at a lower altitude. He then loosened his seatbelt to look for the other Boeing 747. Moments later, the aircraft sustained a severe jolt. The force of the jolt threw the check pilot against the ceiling of the aircraft, injuring his neck.
Injuries
The check pilot sustained a neck injury as a result of being thrown against the ceiling during the event.
