Clear the area.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Clear the area.

Bottom line

The learner should execute the appropriate clearing procedure before all turns and before executing any training maneuver. The essential idea of the clearing turn is to be certain that the next maneuver is not going to proceed into another aircraft's flightpath. Proper clearing procedures, combined with proper visual scanning techniques, are the most effective strategy for collision avoidance.
