If a pilot flies a manuever in the sun and can not be, quote..(optimally judged), should/would that be criteria for a downgrade?
It is for me. The pilot didn't show the control to place the plane where I could easily judge it.
Too harsh in my mind. First, this is really a CD problem. The CD should control the flight schedule so the pilots cannot fly in the sun. You know that we did this for years at North Vegas and Riverside. So at those fields if I had started flying earlier you would downgrade the pilot for not avoiding the sun?? Like I said, harsh.
