Since I started flying with powerflarm I find myself searching for every traffic that it displays, which results in more searching and scanning than before. The problem with scanning for traffic is not that we dont scan because our head is in the cockpit, but it is because we forget to scan and we tend to fixate at the horizon, or above the horizon usually at the clouds ahead. Powerflarm reminds me to keep looking for traffic.
