SEE AND AVOID- When weather conditions permit, pilots operating IFR or VFR are required to observe and maneuver to avoid other aircraft. Right-of-way rules are contained in FAR Part 91.
The "See and Avoid" concept relies on knowledge of the limitations of the human eye, and the use of proper visual scanning techniques to help compensate for these limitations.

Under "visual flight rules", pilots are expected to see and avoid dangers along the way (obstacles, other aircraft, bad weather, etc), and to use pilotage and other means for navigating.
If the weather is good enough, pilots can fly by looking out the window and avoiding hazards.
A high-wing configuration provides the best downward visibility to enjoy the views provided by low and slow flying, and provides the pilot with the required visibility to be able to safely operate into unimproved areas - to be able to see and avoid ...
The pilot is responsible to see and avoid. ATC can advise of possible hazards known to them (PIREPs) and the airport operator will also do his/her best. But in the end its the pilot who must avoid them.
Sufficient area must be available after takeoff for the autogyro to turn and avoid obstacles during climb. This limitation, as well as the lack of hovering performance, is primarily responsible for autogyros being superseded by helicopters.
Visual Meteorological Conditions - Weather that offers enough visibility so that air crews can navigate and avoid other aircraft by looking outside cockpit window.
CLASS I NAVIGATION Operation of aircraft under VFR in visual meteorological conditions primarily based on 'see and avoid' procedures for all obstacles along the flight route as well as other aircraft.
The requirements are designed to provide sufficient visibility so that other aircraft can be seen and avoided.
The pilot should be careful to stress to the passengers that the rotors will be turning, and that people should duck under the main rotor, and avoid walking back toward the tail rotor.
A ground-based service providing information to the flight deck via data link using the S-mode transponder and altitude encoder to improve the safety and efficiency of 'see and avoid' flight through an automatic display that informs the pilot of ...
Controlled Airspace - A generic term including all airspace classes in which ATC services are available. VFR aircraft may operate without ATC contact in most controlled airspace as long as weather conditions will permit them to see and avoid ...
Regulations governing flight when an IFR flight plan has been filed and activated. Air Traffic Control provides separation between IFR aircraft. This allows flight in clouds and reduced visibility, when it is impossible for pilots to see and avoid ...
Does not imply that all flight is under ATC control. VFR aircraft may operate without ATC contact in most controlled airspace as long as weather conditions will permit them to see and avoid other aircraft.
The G2 adopts a six-point mounting system, compared to four points on most general-aviation designs. The additional two isolators help secure the engine to the mount and avoid much of the fatigue associated with vibration.
All sorts of forces the Bernoullis never dreamed of can act to twist and turn the aircraft, and once a flier loses control and goes into a tailspin, it is very difficult to regain control and avoid crashing.
Provided one self announces the intention to perform the maneuver (to alert other pilots), I believe it may be the ideal manner to enter the pattern, in terms of seeing and avoiding existing pattern traffic.

An aircraft traveling in a direction between 180 and 359 degrees on the compass dial needs to be at an altitude beginning with an even number, like 34,000ft. This helps to keep aircraft safer and avoid mid-air collisions.
Cylinder bores are easily examined, but rust loves to form on cams and these are not easily inspected. Err on the conservative side and avoid long-dormant engines because the unknown factor is too big.
On the down side, when a big-airport student goes to a nontowered field, he or she may not be as vigilant or comfortable in entering the pattern and in looking for and avoiding traffic without the help of guidance from the tower.
