[Jim Logajan]

I'm flying back to Lincoln on Thursday hoping for the plane to be fixed next monday

I just want to tell you both good luck, we're all counting on you.

I'll buy your flash photography prohibition, but if white light is not recommended, how do you explain this excerpt from AIM 8-1-6?:

"Even so, white cockpit lighting must be available when needed for map and instrument reading, especially under IFR conditions."

Bob Gardner

Glad to see the AIM is not a victim of the "red light myth." Here is one readable resource on that subject:

http://stlplaces.com/night_vision_red_myth/
"For those just looking for an executive answer as to what supplemental lighting should be used to reduced the recovery time back to night vision (dark adapted or scotopic) here it is: a fully dimmable white light!"
and:"Note: The red filtered light at the intensity most people use is likely decreasing night vision much more than a properly dimmed white or blue-green light would!"

David is now one of those fancy instrument pilots - looking down upon the VFR folks flying dangerously above overcast layers. Won't be long before we see him piloting a Cirrus.

I just want to tell you both good luck. We're all counting on you.
