When the Sky Gets Busy, Bring a Spotter

This one isn’t a rule. It’s a smart habit.

When several planes are airborne, depth perception gets tricky. Orientation can get confusing. Traffic builds quickly.

A spotter gives you:

• Another set of eyes
• Traffic awareness
• Runway status updates
• Backup if something changes fast

They can call out traffic. Confirm clearance. Watch for aircraft you don’t see.

Even experienced pilots benefit from a second brain when the airspace gets busy.

Two sets of eyes are better than one.

And when things get hectic, that extra awareness can prevent a mid-air before it happens.
