Default high winds in Palm Spring

Larry Dighera writes:

It's always a good idea to keep a sharp lookout for conflicting
traffic. The Air Force conducted a study that indicated that only 3
or 4 seconds out of every 20 seconds should be spent on piloting the
aircraft; the rest should be spent scanning.


That would depend on the flight conditions, would it not? I'm not sure what a
pilot over the Atlantic would be scanning for that would require 17 out of
every 20 seconds.
