What type of sunglasses should you avoid wearing whilst flying?
  • A
    Polarized glasses.
  • B
    Gray tinted glasses.
  • C
    UV protected glasses.
  • D
    Brown tinted glasses.
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 antiglare filters.
TINTS. The choice of tints for sunglasses is practically infinite. The three most common tints are gray, gray-green, and brown, any of which would be an excellent choice for the aviator.
