This is the crux of the matter and why I'm passionate about this. Whether or not we think these lights are caused by little green men or by earthly satellites - it is indisputable that they are distracting aircrew and causing confusion which can only adversely affect their concentration when they should be busy flying the plane. We need to understand what is being seen and then get that information out to the aircrew and ATC communities. Now that we can predict where and when the Starlink flares occur we should be able to publish this info in either an app or a
Safety Information Bulletin. At least that part of this mystery can be addressed. When we get footage of the 'other thing' that pilots claim to be seeing then that should be similarly addressed.
What do you think would be the best way to get information about the Starlink flares to the Aviation Community?
