- 1. As a pilot have you ever faced any hazards with glare:
- * On a take off? If yes, please elaborate
- > Yes. In a high-traffic class D airport with east/west runway orientation in the afternoon. I was mostly concerned with other traffic in the area.
- > This has occurred on numerous occasions, but most hazardous during the airport's CTAF hours.
- * On landing? If yes, please elaborate
- > 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.
