Collision hazards.
Collision hazards.
Bottom line
The airspace used for flight training and practice may be crowded, creating a potential collision hazard. If another aircraft appears to have no relative motion, it is likely to be on a collision course. During climbs and descents in flight conditions that permit visual detection of other traffic, pilots should execute gentle banks left and right at a frequency that permits continuous visual scanning of the airspace.
