Absolutely, See and Avoid is an essential tool in the box, but it is not very good and needs all the assistance it can get!
I learned to fly in the civilian Gliding world which taught lookout very aggressively. I had always considered myself quite good at it until I got the PCAS box, which shattered the illusion quite quickly. I still work at see and avoid, but now I know how bad I am in comparison with the tec, and that only spots about 50% of the traffic within 5nm and 2000ft of me.
Pace, did you get a copy of the Flyer article on collision avoidance?
