Brief Description:
Flying at night rewards the prepared and punishes the casual. In this episode of Cockpit2Cowl, pilot Brian Schiff and mechanic Jeff Simon tackle what it really takes to launch after sunset — from the human side of the equation (dark adaptation, scanning off-center to beat your blind spot, cockpit lighting that preserves night vision, fatigue, and the illusions that make a black-hole approach so treacherous) to the mechanical side, where a single burned-out bulb, a marginal battery, or a tired alternator turns a routine flight into an emergency.
You'll hear how to operate at night from the perspective of both pilot and mechanic.
“Cockpit 2 Cowl,” with Brian Schiff and Jeff Simon, explores General Aviation safety topics from the combined perspectives of Flight Instructors, Pilots, and Mechanics, examining both man & machine to make aviation safer and more enjoyable.
