This is of utmost importance,I would ask your instructor to demonstrate the method,as has already been suggested.
It was drilled into me that looking all around really well, before a turn, is paramount.
Especially the area you are turning into.
And of course the circuit.

thats my last written exam left to do after aero tech. I am aware of clearing turns and looking before turning. I was under the impression reading this that there is a specific scan technique when flying straight and level.
At the minute I split the view into different parts and scan each section at a time, middle, fore and back. I will ask instructor though next lesson.
