Interesting to read how many pilots can't see too well!!

Being very young still ( no rude comments from those who know me!!), I've found my distance vision has improved with age but my arms have shortened. Biggest problem is trying to read in poor light, hence night flying is much harder. I find anything over 18-24 inches is no problem, so all instrument panels and centre consoles and most roof panels are no problem except for the stupid roof panel in the 206 which is about 6 inches from my nose. So I just wear basic reading glasses for studying charts and IF plates.

Now, what about the radio. What's that, didn't quite catch what you said.
