S2E83 - See and Avoid: Outmaneuver the Unexpected

The sky isn’t yours alone—manned aircraft have right-of-way, and knowing how to avoid them isn’t optional.

In S2E83 of Sky Commander Academy, we cover Section 6.2.3: Avoiding Manned Aircraft, giving you the tools and techniques to spot, assess, and evade potential conflicts before they become emergencies.

In this episode:
✈ Right-of-way rules you must know to keep manned aviation safe—and keep yourself legal
🔭 How to detect manned aircraft early, even in noisy or cluttered environments
📡 Using visual scanning patterns and observer coordination to maximize detection
⚡ Split-second decision-making to alter course, altitude, or pause operations
🌦 Why weather, terrain, and sun position can hide traffic—and how to compensate
🚨 Real-world RPAS-manned aircraft encounter scenarios—and how to handle them

Manned aircraft can appear when you least expect them. The best RPAS pilots aren’t just good at avoiding—they’re great at anticipating. Learn how to see the conflict before it happens and keep both your mission and the skies safe.
