Q

What procedure ia recommended when climbing or descending VFR on an airway?

A

Execute gentle banks, left and right for continuous visual scanning of the airspace

17
Q

What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain feature during flight

A

All traffic or terrain features appear to be further away than their actual distance

18
Q

The most effective methos of scanning for other aircraft for collision avoidance during daylight hours is to use

A

a series of short, regularly spaced eye movements to searcg each 10degree sector

19
Q

Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-to-level flight?

A

Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals

20
Q

How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft

A

There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft
