See and Avoid as Applied to FAST Aircraft

Notes:

Here we’re not talking about another 50 kt aircraft (glider) in a thermal with you, or even another 80 – 100 kt aircraft in the pattern with you, we’re talking about 250 kt heavy aircraft straight and level at altitude . .

Also, re Krause’s “Myth of See and Avoid” . . An excellent,thought provoking analysis of midair collision data.

There are serious physical limitations to scanning and seeing this kind of traffic.
