Embrace the journey to becoming **Safer, Smarter, More Confident Pilots**

 **Three Fingers Rule**: Keep potential traffic in check! Stretch your arm, place one finger on the horizon, two below - your potential traffic is right there. Look, find, and follow.

 **Sectors of Attention**: Break the horizon into 30-degree sectors. Focus on one sector for 5 seconds, then move to the next. Objects in motion pop out more clearly this way.

 **Horizon Watch**: Traffic near the horizon could be cruising at your altitude. Spot them early, track their path, and stay safe.

 **Converging Course Caution**: Aircraft that seem stationary relative to you might be on a converging course. Keep them under a watchful eye.
