If you are using "knowledge" as a mere synonym for "information", sure, but does a near miss between two planes qualify as "knowledge", or is it simply just a bit of trivia, an unimportant data point?

Does your meaning of "knowledge" match any of these definitions? If so, when you write articles, please keep do your "knowledge" in check and give me the "information" instead.
Those are pretty bad definitions, and none of them seem to fit the context of this thread.
As for the question of whether or not this particular "near miss between two planes" is unimportant, as I've already pointed out it clearly is not. The incident is a clear example of the use of AMASS - so it is a very important data point for anyone doing research on such systems. Now maybe you could argue that this bit of knowledge is too specialized for Wikipedia (and I'd still disagree), but it is certainly not trivia.
If it's an example of the use of AMASS then it belongs in that article, not on it's own. In fact, that article would be enhanced by inclusion of this near miss.
Well, the only problem with that is that it *also* belongs in [[runway incursion]]. Therefore it's more efficient to link it than to copy it to two places.
But if you disagree, and want to move the information to [[Airport Movement Area Safety System]], I won't try to stop you, and this doesn't require use of AfD or DRV.
