Hi im new to the forum.
Im a pilot with under 500 hours on mainly cessna and robin types.
I have been watching many youtube videos recently and the amount of pilots that use the main front windows only as opposed to scanning the side windows as a 180 degree lookout quite frankly scares me and ive had to avoid many contacts who have probably been heads down in VFR and had to take aggressive avoiding action.
In my belief better instruction on lookouts should be given and traffic services should be obtained if possible.
Call me paranoid but converging with a DA40 who took no action did make me wonder.
CessnaAL.
