Re: FlightDetent
Simple, the window panes block all the damaging rays by design
Interesting, never heard that b4. My layman's understanding of the sun's radiation spectrum is that it is virtually impossible to block all of the harmful rays. My dermatologist, for one, claims that we (i.e. flight deck crews) are nuts, allowing ourselves to be exposed to harmful rays at high altitudes with less crap in the atmosphere to block some of it. Anyway, thanks all for your replies. I regularly use sun shades, be it news papers, folders or the automobile one I carry in my flight bag. I turn on radar, tcas and take a peek every now and then, just to make sure I'm not head on with Mt. Everest.
Fly safely.
