  Chapter 14: Airport Operations › Collision Avoidance › Clearing Procedures

  Clearing Procedures The following procedures and considerations are in place to assist pilots in collision avoidance under various situations: • Before takeoff—prior to taxiing onto a runway or landing area in preparation ... takeoff, pilots should scan the approach area for possible landing traffic, executing appropriate maneuvers to provide a clear view of the approach areas. • Climbs and descents—during climbs and descents in flight conditions that permit visual detection of other traffic…

Clear Communication and Briefings Whether operating as a single pilot or as part of a crew, clear and concise communication is the foundation for sharing information and conveying intentions. When communicating with ATC or during crew briefings ... inconsistency. Effective Situational Awareness Situational awareness may include knowing: • Aircraft position • Flight Path • Status of other aircraft in the area • Status of the environment • Human factors in play Planning for What Comes Next Situational awareness allows the pilot to plan…

However, in this example and as shown in Figure 2-3, the pilot regularly flies in an area where normal summer flying involves hazy conditions over relatively flat terrain and is more experienced and comfortable in MVFR.
