See the attached photo. We are flying formation with a Yak, F4F Wildcat,
and a Legacy (you may recognize Barry Hancock). Photo is taken from
the right seat of a white Lancair 360. The wide white streak is the reflection
of the left canopy rail. You can also see the ignition key, master switch,
ASI, and so on.
Canopy reflections are a significant impairment to vision day or night.
All are good reasons to use dark, low-gloss finishes in the cockpit.
I would also like to have anti-reflection coatings on the canopy.
