flight operationsFAA-published sample question (FIA, Aug 2021)
Most midair collision accidents occur during
A
hazy days within the traffic pattern environment.
B
clear days in the vicinity of navigational aids.✓ Correct Answer
C
night conditions during simulated instrument flight.
Explanation
FAA collision-avoidance guidance notes that most midair collisions occur in daylight on clear VFR days, where traffic concentrates, such as near airports and around navigational aids where aircraft converge (AIM 4-4-15 calls for sustained vigilance near VORs). Hazy days and night simulated-instrument flights are not where most occur.
