Default Std Cirrus: Blue or Gray trim color ONLY!...why?


"Scott Alexander" wrote in message ...
After the multiple mid-airs we have had this year, I am wanting to add
some high-vis trim colors on the nose, wingtips and rudder. How would
I go about getting approval for a high visibility color that isn't
blue or gray? Or maybe there's a high visibility blue out there I can
use.


Scott,

If you are a member of the SSA you might want to read John Greene's article in the Sept 1975 issue of Soaring.
(http://www.ssa.org/magazine/archive/...onth=9&page=03)
The article is on PDF page 24 & 25.

I am sure similar tests are what lead up to the creation of the AD.
