# Key Takeaways - VFR flying is based on [[See and Avoid]] - Scanning for other aircraft is critical to see and avoid - Most collisions occur during good weather days # Details #todo Add information on scanning technique - Scan in 10° increments of the scan, trying to keep eyes stationary between each increment - The goal is to use your motion detectors, which means most of the scene needs to stay static - Look in direction of likely traffic inbound, such as the 45 of a non-towered airport > [!instagram] See if you can spot the traffic using proper scanning technique! > <iframe class="ig-embed-frame" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DVW-ORZEmpF/embed/"></iframe> ## Aircraft Limitations - high wing plane - lift wing slightly before banking ## Daytime vs Nighttime The center of our vision is clearest in the daytime. At night, however, our night blind spot requires off center scanning to see things in the peripheral vision. ![[Night Blind Spot.jpeg]] # Additional Resources - [[AIM 8]] - [[PHAK Ch17]] - [[Vision in Flight]] #concept
