Collision hazards.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Collision hazards.

Bottom line

The airspace used for flight training and practice may be crowded, creating a potential collision hazard. Many areas of the country where flight instruction is conducted often have restricted visibility due to haze, pollution, or other factors that aggravate a potential collision hazard. The pilot can contribute to collision avoidance by being alert and scanning for other aircraft.
