Translation YOU DON"T FLY IN THE REAL WORLD. Try flying at KMBO with
4 school planes in the pattern as well as NORDO CAF planes working the
pattern.


I've flown at other airports that were quite busy, but not with NORDO aircraft
about. Because it is so difficult to remain aware of traffic with NORDO
aircraft in the vicinity, I tend to avoid places where I might have a good
chance of encountering such aircraft. Staying withing Class A, B, C, or D
airspace helps.

You DON"T FLY IFR. YOU SIMULATE FLYING IFR in MSFS.


In both simulation and real life, if you are flying in IMC, you generally
cannot see other traffic.

What part do you not understand. YOU DON"T HEAR NORDO traffic.


You listen to the radio to keep track of aircraft that are using the radio.
The fact that NORDO traffic may be nearby does not mean that you stop using
the radio.

ANSWER THE QUESTION ABOVE. HOW DO YOU PREVENT A MID AIR in that
situation. YOUR RADIO IS USELESS. and YOU CAN"T be situationally
aware on something you didn't see or hear!!!


You do the best you can. Keep your eyes open, your head on a swivel, and
listen carefully to the radio. Fly in a way that others will be able to
predict, and try to anticipate what other people may do. This will not prevent
a midair collision, but it will reduce the risk.

What method(s) do you suggest?
