This allows you to decide on approach and departure path, where to land in the confined area ect.
Lots of different names for the procedure but everyone is looking for the same information in order to form a viable plan.
This is one of the aspects that we are interested in, however more specifically we are looking at how all of that information is gathered from your surroundings. What role does visual search play? What are the specific things that are looked at to judge, for example, the 5S's? Are there any other sources of information that are used? What factors might affect the ability to gather information and how is that managed? And a number of other smaller things.
