Scanning is exactly the verb pilots use to describe that part
of the process.
Scanning for traffic. Scanning the instruments.
I would hasten to a that "scanning" describes only part of
the process.
You have to scan the inputs and _interpret_ what you see so
as to build a
mental model of what's going on. The mental model is primary
and fundamental.
One of the functions of the mental model is to tell you what
needs scanning
right now and what doesn't.
