If they were easy, then a lot less time would be spent in pilot training
warning pilots about how deceptive visual cues can be, and a lot less time
would be spent teaching various clever ways to try to estimate distances.

Your resaerch has obviously led you astray. No time is spent teaching pilots
"clever ways to estimate distances" as this would be inconsistent with safety.
All information is presented in a way that precludes such estimations. In light
of your misconceptions, it is indeed fortunate that you are not a pilot, as you
would clearly be a dangerous one.


It's not seen as 3D. As I've said, depth perception only works to up to 100
feet or so. The rest depends on visual cues that may or may not be accurate.
Pilots who have misinterpreted the cues have regularly crashed and died.

No one can reguilarly crash and die. That is a one time event. Life differs
from simulation. Death also.
