  3. CS for the soul on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

  4. Not impossible. on Laser Injures Delta Pilot's Eye · · Score: 2, Informative

    It would not be impractical for the pilot to wear safty glasses during the takoff and landing phases of flight, and have the copilot dictate to the pilot important information and peform tasks (ie. airspeed, gear down, flaps out). This is how it is done to a certain extent already. And after takeoff, the pilot could remove his safty glasses. In fact, this is how the C-130 crews do it when landing in the arctic. The snow is so bright that the pilot must look outside the whole time while the copilot reads things off the instruments.
