  1. 1. As a pilot have you ever faced any hazards with glare:

  10. > Yes. On arriving to the same airport from the east during late afternoon, sun glare caused me to have no visibility of the field at all, though I knew I was quite close. It was towered at the time. I chose to make a turn orthogonal to the sun so that I could sight the field and regain better situational awareness, then subsequently regain normal positioning.
