There
have been several medical papers and
FAA alerts issued over the years regarding health effects to cockpit crews
from sun exposure. Ultra Violet rays reach cockpit crews from not only
the sky but also from reflection from the ground, snow, water, sand, etc.

Cancer
is the principal health concern for
cockpit crews due to exposure to the sun.
Cockpit Crews have the highest incidence
of Skin Cancer, a disease caused by UV

Eye
cataracts in airline pilots are most
numerous as compared to non airline groups. Also a greater risk is
present among younger pilots where cataracts are rare.
-
Pilot
fatigue is accentuated by glare in
the cockpit and hot environments.
-
Our
sunshades also help to eliminate
dehydration. Sunshades are a major
contributor to reducing pilot fatigue,
an important safety element especially
at the end of the flight when pilot alertness is vital for the safety
of the flight.
