When is the pilot responsible to see and avoid other traffic, terrain, or obstacles?
A
ATC maintains responsibility if the pilot is operating under IFR.
B
When meteorological conditions permit, regardless of flight rules.✓ Correct Answer
C
When they have accepted an instruction to "maintain visual separation."
Explanation
14 CFR 91.113(b) says that when weather conditions permit, regardless of whether an operation is conducted under IFR or VFR, each pilot must maintain vigilance to see and avoid other aircraft. IFR does not transfer that responsibility to ATC, and it exists even without a visual separation instruction.
