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.
It is difficult to see and avoid weather at night. The first indication of a cloud may be a glow emanating from the navigation lights, or a brilliant flash of the strobes being diffused throughout a cloud.

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.
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.
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.
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 ...
This gives me more time to see and avoid surprises. Also, the steeper the approach angle, the slower I fly, because I'm trying to avoid settling with power. The descent rate required on approach is directly proportional to the speed and angle.
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.
