Thanks guys,
I am also one for the just bright or dim enough to read the instruments, however, a lot of the F/O's I fly with have their lights so bright it affects the lighting in the whole cockpit.
I was really looking for some info on how night vision is improved with the lighting dim in contrast to burning the back of your eye balls out. Maybe the flying school night VFR types may have a reference.
AMRAAM
In no way was I suggesting that there may be, or should be regulations covering this type of thing. More medical facts to back up what has already been stated.
What do you guys think about the attitude that we are IFR and don't need to be able to see out the window at night, hence should have the lights up bright?
