PPL Syllabus - Why no Emergency Turns?
Steep Turns are part of the UK PPL Syllabus and yet Emergency Turns (ie for avoiding aircraft which are in close proximity) are not.
Given the density of the airspace in which we often operate now, I think that Emergency Turns should be taught. After all we teach the student how to Go-Around if he/she cannot safely complete an approach and/or landing but we do not teach them what to do if they lookout and see an aircraft which they might collide with in the next few seconds if they do not take decisive avoiding action.
I would be interested to hear other views
