What is the pilot's responsibility when radar service is being provided?

The pilot's responsibility for collision avoidance with other aircraft is paramount, even when radar service is being provided. While radar systems greatly assist in traffic monitoring and communication, they do not completely eliminate the pilot's duty to visually assess the surroundings and remain vigilant about potential collision threats. Radar services can offer support by providing traffic advisories and separating aircraft in busy airspace, but it is ultimately the pilot's responsibility to ensure safe navigation and collision avoidance.

This means that pilots must maintain their own situational awareness, looking out for other aircraft and preparing to take evasive action if necessary. The assistance from radar does not substitute for the pilot's role in actively scanning for other traffic and making real-time decisions to maintain safety. By recognizing this ongoing responsibility, pilots can effectively use radar services to enhance safety rather than relying on them entirely.
