The greatest chance of collision is on the runway or close in to the aerodrome.
That may well be what they say.....however the last few have not happened on a runway and have been as was the case at YSBK....outside the GAAP.
As for the near hits....they were a fair way from the field. Acurate tracking!
As for See and Avoid...I have excellent views out my windscreen and in a busy CTAF have had several close shaves from instructors who can't listen to their radio and instruct at the same time, and can not look out their window eiether.
