Advice from observer Lt. Warren R. Behm to minimize losses:
- Fly by contact, not compass.
- Relatively safe altitude is 1800ft - 2500 ft (I'd worry about 20mm fire).
- Avoid wooded areas and deserted looking towns.
- Lower altitudes with lower cloud ceilings / poorer visibility encourages more enemy pot shots.
- Fly deep behind enemy lines only during Allied ground advances, when the enemy is pre-occupied.
- Have the pilot fly an irregular flight path, up, down, left, right.
- Avoid flying near other liaison planes.
