It is interesting that neither the CAA Safety Sense leaflet and the Airprox video really fully explain the visual scan, for instance it seems mostly confined by them forwards, why would you not scan through the side windows and over your shoulders.
Likewise, absolute no explanation of how to visually scan in an aircraft with a persex canopy, such as DR400, T67, Bulldog, G115. For example tilting the head back to look above. looking over the rlight shoulder, then toward the windsheld, over the the left shoulder, tilting the head back looking above and back to the windshield.
Interesting the comments on here especially why pilots are not being trained to think aboout the lookout before and during a decent.
Finally, can anyone suggest why the younger instructors in the UK are not teaching 60 degree banked turns? What do instructors do in other countries?
