✈️Pilots use visual separation to maintain safe distances from other planes in the sky.
🚀The TCAS system alerts pilots when other planes come too close, giving instructions to avoid collisions.
🗺️Air traffic controllers provide guidance and instructions to pilots to ensure visual separation.
🎯Pilots need to be highly vigilant and aware of their surroundings to spot other aircraft.
🛣️Short runways require precise landing and energy management to ensure safe stops.
What is visual separation?
—Visual separation is when pilots keep a safe distance from other aircraft by visually spotting them.
How does the TCAS system work?
—The TCAS system monitors nearby aircraft and provides alerts and instructions to pilots to avoid potential collisions.
What is the role of air traffic controllers?
—Air traffic controllers provide guidance and instructions to pilots, helping them maintain visual separation and ensuring safe flights.
Why is vigilance important for pilots?
—Pilots need to be highly vigilant and aware of their surroundings to spot other aircraft and maintain visual separation.
Why is precise landing crucial on short runways?
—Short runways require pilots to land precisely and manage energy to ensure safe stops within the limited space.
