Flight Safety Detectives Episode 144: See and avoid
PAMA
"See and Avoid" is widely recognized as a method for avoiding collision. This accident shows that approach has limits.
The term "See and Avoid" is part of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Regulation 14 CFR Part 91.113 (b), calling for pilots to actively search for potentially conflicting traffic. John and Todd discuss a 2014 accident where two planes crashed because they were not able to see one another in time.

The latest edition of the Aviation Technical Education Council (ATEC) Pipeline Report, which is produced annually to chart U.S. airframe and powerplant (A&P) mechanic workforce trends, found that 6,929 individuals earned their FAA mechanic certificate in 2021 — a 33% increase from the previous year.
