Theoretical studies concerning the analysis of near midair and midair collisions under visual meteorological conditions were made. The applicability of the rules of the air for pilots approaching a powered glider or flying in the critical area between converging courses and overtaking is studied. The effectiveness of horizontal evasive maneuvers in this area was examined using some examples. Restrictions on a pilot's ability to see an approaching aircraft caused by meteorological phenomena, too small dimensions of the aircraft, the workload of the observing pilot, and by opaque structures in his cockpit are discussed for horizontal turns and straight and level flight. The apparent tracks of straight and level flying aircraft on the windshield of an aircraft in straight and level flight or in a horizontal turn are treated and the limits of the see and avoid concept are described. The results are applicable to initial training and advanced instruction of pilots.
