Midairs
The pilot is responsible for maintaining a scan which may
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.
If you lose visual contact with reported traffic, let ATC know.
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.
Fly coastlines at least 1/2 mile off-shore
Clean your windows.
Strobe lights increase aircraft delectability times 10.
CFIT (Controlled flight into terrain)
Accidents occur when situational awareness is compromised
and account for 25% of aviation accidents.
Four of every five Controlled Flight Into Terrain (CFIT) occurs
in very cold weather. Says something about the validity of altimeter
settings in cold conditions.
