Airprox – effective lookout
Lookout is the primary method of collision avoidance in class G airspace.
It is important to recognise that the limitations of the human eye means that effective lookout requires technique supported by other attributes available to pilots. You can help to keep yourself and others safe by making the most of the following six attributes that are available to pilots: eyes, ears, making your presence known including FLARM, foresight, insight, and prioritisation.
This airprox between a paramotor and a sailplane in southern England highlights the point.
