  2. DUAL Garmin G5 HSI & PFD In Flight Demo - Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/dual-garmin-g5...

    Like you said, they can have an optical illusion mixed in the panel. They didn't have the HSI yet when I installed. I am not so patiently waiting on dynon to decide on the Skyview HDX, another G5 or to see if the G500's have any impact (able to be useful) in the used market with the Txi's out.

  3. What is this symbology on a sectional? | Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/what-is-this...

    Also, I believe it is blue. It just looks gray due to optical illusion (all that brown around it). If you use an image processing app with a pixel peeper, I'm guessing that you'll see it's mostly blue. *edit: if the whole world were under FAA jurisdiction.

  4. Can you be "spatially disoriented" if you are driving at night in...

    About four years ago I started getting Ocular Migraines. For a while I didn't know what they were. I went to the opthomologist and got diagnosed with it. There isn't anything they can do about it, but when I get one it is very disorienting. One note, if you get diagnosed with optical migraines you probably won't be flying airplanes anymore.

  5. KAVX - Catalina Island, twin-engine Beechcraft crash 5 dead

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/kavx-catalina...

    After dark, I can imagine that the inability to see the far end of the runway could be confusing. Of course, it could have been something entirely different with engine problems, or nav issue or a dozen other things. But the crown presents an optical illusion of limited take off length.

  6. 100 mile cross country night time requirement quandry

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/100-mile-cross...

    Private: (i) One cross-country flight of over 100 nautical miles total distance; and Commercial: (iii) One 2-hour cross country flight in a single engine airplane in daytime conditions that consists of a total straight-line distance of more than 100 nautical miles from the original point of departure;

  7. American Optical vs Randolph engineering aviators

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/american-optical...

    Between American Optical and Randolph Engineering… which is generally considered better quality for the price? Been looking at aviators, polycarbonate but would like dark tint and understand that polycarbonate does not take tint very well unless it’s polycarbonate, then there’s the endless debate about affecting digital screens.

  8. Hot plate question - Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/hot-plate...

    There are a lot of variables to this question. But for note some hot plates were factory installed vs STC. However in my experience if you can remove the plate without windshield damage, and you will not replace the plate, there will be a permanent optical distortion where the plate was especially at the edge a

  9. Bifocals vs Progressive - Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/bifocals-vs...

    I bought a pair of single vision rimless glasses from Zenni after a very disappointing experience with boutique rimless specs costing $350 (they kept falling apart where the nose bridge and temples fasten to the lenses). The Zenni Optical Rx glasses were $40 and I've worn them daily for three years without any issues. An amazing value IMHO.

  10. tachometer issues - Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/tachometer...

    Calibrate the optical tach checker under a fluorescent light. Set it on the two-blade setting. It should read 3600 RPM. The 60-Hz grid frequency is stable to, IIRC, .0033%. Good enough. A tach that reads 100 RPM low is junk. Period.

  11. Sunglass Lens Color -- Which? | Pilots of America

    www.pilotsofamerica.com/community/threads/sunglass-lens...

    The text book answer, gray lense, non polarized. After flying for a while, it's all the same, I'm flying nowadays with some ray ban clubmasters glass neutral gray lens non polarized, I also fly with a pair of spys with gray/brown polarized lens, also a pair of oaklies with some polarized blackish blue lens, all work just fine, probably have the most hours on my spys (dirty mo, with replacment ...
