The need to encourage good aviation practice to help ensure pilots know how to perform an effective visual scan and how to actively listen to radio calls.
Reply Text
The CAA has a programme of activities designed to encourage good aviation practice.
Articles have been produced in Vector on visual scanning, and active listening (see and be seen). Articles will be re-run in future editions of Vector. Consideration will also be given to using the AvKiwi seminar series to address the issue.
Consequently, I accept the recommendation, noting that CAA has already undertaken 'safety promotion' activities on this topic, and will continue to do so in the future as part of its ongoing safety promotion programme.
You can find evidence of the actions taken by CAA on the CAA’s web-site and previous editions of Vector. (027/09)
