Collision hazards.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Collision hazards.

Bottom line

Preoccupation inside or outside the flight deck while maneuvering to avoid other traffic during takeoff and climb could create a potential stall/spin situation. During dual instruction, both instructor and learner are responsible for maintaining a lookout to see and avoid other air traffic. The pilot can contribute to collision avoidance by being alert and scanning for other aircraft, which is particularly important in the vicinity of an airport.
