What is controller blind spot and why should we be concerned about it? In air traffic control a phenomenon known as “Controller Blind Spot”, refers to the failure to detect a potentially conflicting aircraft usually straight in the controller’s field of view. It is a human performance issue. Specifically, controller blind spot loss of

Blind Spots: Pilots must move their heads to see around blind spots caused by fixed aircraft structures, such as door posts, wings, struts, etc. It will be necessary at times to maneuver the aircraft, e.g., lift a wing, to facilitate seeing
To document the operational safety study on one of the Top 5 Network Manager operational safety priorities for 2013 – “Blind Spot – ineficient conflict detection with closest aircraft”.
During the climb and descent beware of the blind spot under the nose – manoeuvre the aircraft so that you can check. Especially during climb or descent, listen to radio exchanges between air traffic and other aircraft and form a mental image of the traffic situation and positions of aircraft on opposing and intersecting headings, anticipating ...
Low-wing aircraft have a large blind spot beneath them that may obscure conflicting traffic when descending into the pattern or while on final approach. Recognize and compensate for visual limitations, whether it’s raising a wing to check for traffic before making a turn in a high-wing airplane, or making shallow S-turns when climbing or ...
