Safety Recommendation

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau recommends that CASA
develop formal advisory material for pilots, based on relevant
research and publications, about collision risk management
strategies. This formal guidance material should include, but not
necessarily be limited to, information on visual scanning
techniques, situations where visual scanning is most important,
other techniques to increase the likelihood of detecting other
aircraft, types of spectacles and sunglasses best suited for
aviation tasks, and collision avoidance manoeuvres.

I understand that [name deleted], General Manager, Aviation Safety
Promotion has been in contact with [name deleted] of the ATSB

information and material on traffic situation awareness.
