Hi,
Further to my previous post I have been trialling red lense glasses while teaching my students NVFR circuits as an aid to avoiding the blindness that can result from having the flightdeck "spotlighted"
My students, while first a little weary have warmed to the idea and though we have yet to (and hopefully wont have to!) test them in a real situation I believe that the red lense in the glasses will make it much much easier to remember the golden rule and transition onto instruments should the flight deck be dazzled.
I must say that we do get a few strange looks as we make our way to the aircraft in our red lense glasses but hey, who knows, in years to come this may be standard kit for those of us lucky enough to aviate at night!
Keepin it real!
