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. Pilots are responsible for seeing and avoiding other aircraft when flying under VFR or in VMC while flying under IFR.
