Prior to starting each maneuver, pilots should
A
check altitude, airspeed, and heading indications.
B
visually scan the entire area for collision avoidance.✓ Correct Answer
C
announce their intentions on the nearest CTAF.
Explanation

Checking instruments is part of setting up, and a CTAF announcement is not required before practice maneuvers away from an airport.
