Pilots are some of the most highly trained people in any business. They must learn how to take off and land, fly, navigate, understand regulations, communicate with air traffic controllers and be responsible for their passengers.
Modern Technology
Technology has made it easier to perform all these tasks. Video screens have replaced analog gauges that were once common in the cockpit to provide information for the pilot.
Things like GPS systems, which are equivalent to a modern day compass, altimeters, a troubleshooting screen that shows a video diagram of all the aircraft control systems, front and rear video camera screens, and other video information screens, are all running and giving valuable information every time a pilot is in the cockpit.
Reflections and Glare
When you fly during the day it is a good bet that sun glare is an issue in the cockpit. Many times this sun glare washes out the display screen and makes it hard to see the details. Polarized sunglasses greatly reduce the glare, but they also make the so dark that the screen becomes nearly invisible.
Overcoming Glare
The answer is as simple as the NuShield DayVue anti reflective screen protector film. The DayVue film is easy to apply, fits many avionics displays as well as laptops, tablets, smartphones, and GPS units.
The film is easy to install over the display and eliminates the glare hitting the screen. It also works well with polarized sunglasses to keep the display information visible.
Popular Air Shows
Fortunately, the technology of the NuShield’s DayVue films keep reflections off of screens, allowing pilots and teams such as the Geico Skytypers perform at air shows with precision and safely. Geico Skytypers have brought World War II aircraft into the 21st century, with the DayVue screen protectors on their state-of-the-art GPS navigational equipment.
