Abstract
This study was conducted in response to the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Office of Aviation Safety and the recommendations of the Interagency Near Midair Collision (NMAC) Working Group, dated July 21, 1986, which suggested a review of see and avoid effectiveness, conspicuity enhancement, and their relationship to cockpit visibility. This report summarizes the salient facts in these areas, based on a review of the literature, and assesses the potential for significant reduction of collision risk. The study was conducted by Walton Graham, Questek, Incorporated, who was previously involved in numerous FAA see and avoid, pilot warning instrument/ collision risk studies and analyses of the near midair collision data. Keywords: See and avoid, Conspicuity enhancement, Cockpit visibility.
