4. You can spot other a/c all day long with your eagle eyes but as soon as Air Tragic telll you you have traffic crossing left to right at two miles your level can you hellers like spot it. It's invariably your non pilot passenger with specs like milk bottom bottoms that sees it first. Always fly with poorly sighted passengers for that reason.

6. When the metman says it's going to be 2k vis with 500' cloudbase it's really going to be a CAVOK day. When he says it's going to be CAVOK day it's 2k vis with 500' cloudbase. It's a game they play.
7 When flying over water, engines start playing mind games. It's the only chance they get.
