In this video, the flying reporter shows how pilots use a good lookout, and air traffic services to avoid mid-air collisions.
I’d spent some time in North Wales, and it was time to fly back home. I’d parked at Hawarden airport near Chester. I received an absolutely 1st rate service from Aviation Park Group.
On the flight back I obtained a traffic service from Hawarden, Shawbury and Brize radar because of the position of the sun obscuring my view southbound. In the video, I explain how that works, the terminology used, and the service’s limitations.
