or may not be supplemented by ATC.
Use CRM especially passengers
Be accurate on your position reports and suspicious of those
of others.
Check and recheck all clearances and advisories.

Avoid letting terrain or weather suck you into a high traffic
area.
Avoid direct flight through VORs
The higher you fly the less traffic you will have.

Four of every five Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) occurs
