In operations governed by CFRs, whose responsibility is to avoid collision with other aircraft?

Collision avoidance in CFR operations rests with the pilot in command. The see-and-avoid principle means a pilot must continuously scan for other aircraft, assess potential conflicts, and take timely action to stay clear. Air traffic control provides routing and separation services within its authority, but the pilot remains responsible for actually avoiding other traffic and complying with ATC instructions. The airport authority and maintenance crew aren’t involved in in-flight collision avoidance. So the pilot is the one who must avoid collisions.
