Question of the Week/Month After being issued a traffic call from ATC, are you required to find the target?  If you do see the target, are you required to tell ATC you have it in sight?  And if it’s traffic to follow and you have them in sight, is the pilot required to maintain a standard of separation in terms of mileage?  Tell us here.
