Default Can some explain "cabin glare" to me?

Hopefully none of you are pilots or we're in big trouble.


Cabin glare is a very important aviation term. I didn't learn it to
my peril -- I was killed last week in a cabin glare accident. Maybe
someone will write a song about it if they can rhyme with "view limiting
device".


Don't know about a song - how about a poem like this:

There are strange things done 'neath class A space
By the pilots who moil for gold.
The contrails have their secret tales
That would make your blood run cold.
The TRACONs have seen queer sights
But the queerest they ever did see,
Was that night on the approach to Lake LeBarge
When I crashed into Sam McGee.
