Test proved that Cellon made the aircraft certainly less conspicuous at certain angles, but at others "Cellon" reflected the sun stronger than the usual linens. To add to that failure it had also yellowed under the effects of ultraviolet radiation. "Invisibility" had to wait a little longer.

Low ceiling and reduced surface visibility can yield significant impacts across the spectrum of aviation activities. For a general aviation pilot, limited ceiling and/or visibility (C&V) present a significant safety hazard that must be carefully considered in making the pre-flight go/no-go decision, especially when planning to fly under Visual Flight Rules (VFR) in Visual Meteorological ...

Abstract Low cloud ceilings and poor visibility claim the lives of more general aviation (GA) pilots and passengers than any other cause of weather-related GA accidents. Experience shows that instrument-rated pilots as well as those rated only for visual flight are vulnerable to low ceiling and visibility (C&V), making total avoidance the most powerful strategy available to a GA pilot dealing ...
