Landing Light SOP

"I seem to recall reading that bright lights coming at you during daylight
hours actually tends to camouflage what is behind them."

Of course, this begs the question: "If you are 5,000 or 6,000 feet up in the
air, and you see a light coming toward you, do you really need to be
concerned with precisely what is BEHIND the light?"

Thanks, Bob.

I wonder, though -- do landing lights in the daytime really do that
much for you? I seem to recall reading that bright lights coming at
you during daylight hours actually tends to camouflage what is behind
them.

(Groping back into the distant recesses of my history minor here...)
Didn't the British actually experiment with using extremely bright
lights to hide their aircraft during the day?
