“The majority of traffic is not spotted visually even when you have a bearing (from TCAS or from RIS) even if you have four people in the cockpit all "knowing" where to look.”
Glorious day for flying today. Turned the GPS and the Radio off (but the transponder on C). Got the map out and did a tour of Wales. Hit the waypoints +/- 1 min, spotted lots of other aircraft enjoying the weather (had to dodge a few gliders).
Maybe we should take a really good look at the biannual flight review. We could include some really accurate nav using the map, and check people are using a proper scan/lookout. Any pilots not to up to the job would have to fly with a competent companion for 12 months, they might learn something.
