6.4: Vision Flashcards
The illusion associated with landing on a narrower than usual runway may result in the pilot flying a
lower approach with the risk of striking objects along the approach path or landing short.
The best method to use when looking for other traffic at night is to
look to the side of the object and scan slowly.
What is the most effective way to use the eyes during night flight?
Scan slowly to permit off-center viewing.
What preparation should a pilot make to adapt the eyes for night flying?
Avoid bright white lights at least 30 minutes before the flight.
What effect does haze have on the ability to see traffic or terrain features during flight?
All traffic or terrain features appear to be father away than their actual distance.
Which technique should a pilot use to scan for traffic to the right and left during straight-and-level flight?
Systematically focus on different segments of the sky for short intervals.
