There are three things that begin with the letter “F” that make my weekends more fun: flying, field hockey, and flashlights, as in testing the latter for use in the aircraft. Over the weekend I had a chance to test two hands-free models courtesy of Flight Gear and Sporty’s Pilot Shop.
It’s always a good idea to have at least two flashlights in your flight kit—one with a white light for preflight inspections, the other with a lens tinted red, green, amber, or blue for use in the dark because these colors do not destroy night vision.
