How can you determine if another aircraft is on a collision course with your aircraft? The other aircraft will always appear to get larger and closer at a rapid rate. The nose of each aircraft is pointed at the same point in space. There will be no apparent relative motion between your aircraft and the other aircraft.
Each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right of way, and each pilot of an overtaking aircraft shall alter course to the right to pass well clear. (FAR 91.113 (f))
A proper crosswind landing on a runway requires that, at the moment of touchdown, the A. direction of motion of the airplane and its lateral axis be perpendicular to the runway. B. direction of motion of the airplane and its longitudinal axis be parallel to the runway.
C. graphic notices and supplemental data. 2. If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster A. airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll.
When aircraft are approaching each other head-on, or nearly so, each pilot of each aircraft shall alter course to the right. (f) Overtaking. Each aircraft that is being overtaken has the right-of-way and each pilot of an overtaking aircraft shall alter course to the right to pass well clear.
According to Advisory Circular 90-48D, “Pilots' Role in Collision Avoidance,” the average person takes 12.5 seconds to see an object, recognize the aircraft, become aware of a collision course, decide which way to turn, react, and for the aircraft to respond.
(5) Where two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is a risk of collision, the pilot-in-command of each aircraft shall alter its heading to the right.

airportsMost midair collisions occur in VFR weather conditions during weekend daylight hours. The vast majority of accidents occurred at or near uncontrolled airports and at altitudes below 1000 feet.
The best method to scan for other aircraft is to divide your field of vision into 10 degree segments and individually scan each segment going left to right. This allows you to focus on small areas and you are more likely to find something in a small area than a larger area.
When two aircraft are on a converging course, the one which has the other on its right shall give way. An aircraft which is being overtaken by another one shall have the right of way and the overtaking aircraft shall keep well clear of the other one.
When two aircraft are approaching head-on or approximately so and there is danger of collision, each shall alter its heading to the right.
What action should the pilots take if a collision is anticipated? The remote pilot should adjust the sUAS course.
Any plane that communicates with the air traffic control system on the ground does so by means of transponders, which come in several varieties. Mode A transponders pick up broadcast signals from ground radar and send back a code that identifies the plane they're in.
Obstacle Collision Avoidance System is a ground based system that uses a low powered radar mounted on or near the obstacle. The radar detects aircraft in the proximity of the obstacle and firstly warns aircraft via flashing medium intensity lights and secondly warns aircraft of the obstacle via a VHF broadcast.
Since the early 1990s in the USA – and since 2000 in Europe – passenger aircraft cannot fly without a traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS). This is a relatively simple but clever radio system that helps keep the sky safe.
If you observe another air craft that has no apparent relative motion and stays in one scan quadrant, these are the best clues that the other aircraft is on a potential collision course with your aircraft. If the other aircraft shows no lateral or vertical motion, but increases in size, take evasive action.
2. If an emergency situation requires a downwind landing, pilots should expect a faster. A. airspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and better control throughout the landing roll. B. groundspeed at touchdown, a longer ground roll, and the likelihood of overshooting the desired touchdown point.
The correct answer is C. A pilot may request an amended clearance but, until approved by ATC, deviation from the original clearance is not permitted. Operating in VFR conditions is no authority to deviate from an ATC clearance, if one had been previously received.
