I also don't consider the radio to be a safety item.


N12345 traffic 12 o'clock, opposite direction, same altitude


While it's aviate, navigate, and THEN communicate, there are
most definitely hazards mitigated by the radio.


Not really. Radio position reports are often missing, or they are
simply incorrect as pilots don't give accurate position reports. I
NEVER rely on radio position reports for anything. Nothing provides the
level safety of two (or more) eyeballs. At most, all radio position
reports do is remind you to do what you should be doing anyway--looking
for traffic.

I really like when you call someone who just gave a position report for
more detail or clarification, and they never answer. G

Just recently, I heard someone give MY exact position, including
altitude! Three unanswered requests later, I finally visually picked
them out on the opposite side of the airport. They meant 4 miles EAST,
instead of 4 miles WEST. Boy, did I sit up and take notice when I heard
their call.
