Can someone with fixed wing experience please give some insight into airspace scans?
In helicopters we generally have the luxury of pretty good visibility from the cockpit in front, below, above and ~180deg left and right.
Fixed wings have other constraints, like engines, props, no glass in the floor, wings in the way, etc.
Are there 'standard' techniques to improve visibility in the scan like changing pitch, banking, etc. that one might employ (as standard procedure) before entering busy uncontrolled airspace?
