Asked by: philb 2038 views Flight Instructor, General Aviation, Private Pilot, Student Pilot, Weather
As a VFR pilot , esp as student learning like me... How do pilot, fly and avoid any airtoair collisions when like late afternoon and flying mostly West into setting sun ? Or same when early morning going East into rising sun ? When on just vfr flt plan and not instr rated and not really doing a xctry type flight... So how is best way deal with su, glare in eyes even with best sunglasses etc. ? When i was soloing it made me nervous even when scanning looking out for traffic that i might miss other ac esp coming at me with sun in my eyes ? Same goes for summer humid hazy days, but still vmc. I know about ATC Flt following... but if I'm just in trng area do practice maneuvers etc. thx
