Midair Over Long Island

Last flight I was coming in to Austin and approach called out traffic
ahead of me, ll o'clock, one mile, my altitude. That plane was also
going in to land and there was little chance of me overtaking them (a
twin in front of a 152). Still the fact that I couldn't see them was
making me very antsy.

After contacting tower and getting an update on the other plane's
location I finally saw them just before I turned final. It was no
problem.

And then it turned the guy behind me couldn't see my plane either.
Talked to him at the FBO after landing.


When I'm in a busy area, I turn on the landing lights, day or night. They still
may not be able to see me but it improves my chances.

Same here.
