Sunglass polarization and a/c windows

[av8trinabarrel]

Been using polarized for years and now I find out why the screens are always blank. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, that was quick....But, I believe that this will establish maximum coolness:

Someone said you should warm it up in the tub for a few minutes, and THEN put your Oakley's on.....(?)

I'm just sayin' what I heard...From another guy. Who flys Jets. Not that there's anything wrong with that...

I guess some one needs to change their moniker to "Sheep Whine Lover"!

Ha! One of my favorite captains, many years ago, used to carry one in his bag.

He would always invite us, and unwitting F/A's, to room parties where he always had "Dolly" inflated and on display.

Many good laughs...

The FAA viewpoint - FWIW

POLARIZATION. Polarized lenses are not recommended
for use in the aviation environment. While useful for blocking
reflected light from horizontal surfaces such as water or
snow, polarization can reduce or eliminate the visibility of
instruments that incorporate anti-glare filters. Polarized lenses
may also interfere with visibility through an aircraft windscreen
by enhancing striations in laminated materials and mask the
sparkle of light that reflects off shiny surfaces such as another
aircraft’s wing or windscreen, which can reduce the time a pilot
has to react in a “see-and-avoid” traffic situation.
