Q

Is it possible for the converging paths to meet when the relative bearing between two Aircraft is not constant? (Yes/No) Why?

A
  • Yes.

- If the Speed, Heading, or Rate of Climb/Descent are changing.

Q

In normal flight, an area of at least (20°/60°) to the left and right of your flight path and at least (20°/60°) above and below your flight path should be scanned?

Q

When visual scanning, why would you normally pause and refocus for a second or two at the end of each scan?

16
Q

True or False. Radio-alerted see and avoid is more effective than basic see and avoid because they have to give way to your Aircraft?

17
Q

True or False. It is not necessary to check for Aircraft overtaking from behind because they have to give way to your Aircraft?

18
Q

Haze, Drizzle and Glare (do/do not) affect the ability of our eyes to see other Aircraft?
