Snowbird wrote in message There's also the vis. factor. If it's hazy and
you're flying towards the sun, you can't see a durn thing even if there isn't a cloud out there. OTOH, a plane flying perp. or away from the sun can legitimately see 3+ miles Last weekend, I flew up to North Carolina at 16,500'. I try to put one of the local flight instructors in the seat when I can. It was a hazy summer day, but the co-pilot of the day had no problem maintaining straight and level, staying out of the clouds, and spotting landmarks. However, the TCAD (traffic collision avoidance thing) would show an occassional target being within 3 miles of us and we couldn't see them for nothing. D. |
