Theoretical studies in the field of statistics and flight mechanics concerning conflict detection and resolution by the 'see and avoid' concept were made. American and German statistics on midair and near midair collisions are discussed. For flights without acceleration basic geometrical and physical aspects of conflict detection are derived and details on the angles of vision from the pilot to the other aircraft and on 'dead zones' are given. Horizontal evasive maneuvers are analyzed in detail and their effectiveness is presented in graphs which can be used for numerous tasks. Two observation error models are described and the influences on the distances where horizontal evasive maneuvers are possible are estimated. Vertical maneuvers are treated concisely and some tentative suggestions for the improvement of flight safety are made. (Author)
