Hi Tom:
I did similar but not exact simulated run before. U will see SIMILAR 
magnitude in +/- 8 km ( or 16 km) corridor from a centre line for very 
bright flares. I am not sure the drop-off is similar for other 
magnitude. I guesstimage  the visual corridor is around 20-25km from 
flare centre or (40-50km corridor). 

>So the question is:What is the normal "corridor of visibility" for the 
Iridium flares as seen by others?
