I’m sure there studies of the long-term affects on pilots but what do they show?
Cancer rates? Cataracts? Shorter life spans? Genetic mutations in offspring?
“climbdown” ?!
lol spew coffee funny!
Ooooh! Scary picture!
If shown to scale and going by the size of the sun as shown, earth wouldn’t even be in the same room with you. Somewhere down the street...
In regards to long term effects on pilots, my chief pilot has over 24,000 hours. He has a small spot of cancer on his left cheek. I find that consistent with him sitting in the left seat, with the left side of his face exposed to the left window.
i go up as often as I can.
Tomorrow I’ll fly from fl37 to either Sebring or Venice Florida for breakfast then back and will get up as high as I can, look around at GODS earth then come back to land. May do a touch and go at Indiantown and or Pahokee and if it is the equilavent of a chest x-ray, well it is worth it.
Actually afaik no adverse effects have been clearly identified.

They changed the gui a little, it actually once said climbout and climbdown. Wording is different now.
After racing Motocross, Go-carts, cars and jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, a few cosmic rays really doesn’t matter. I’m just grateful to be alive.
