*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***
Last week, AVweb wondered just how many pilots are actually
conversant with lightgun signals.
Just over half of those who answered have more than a passing
familiarity with lightguns. 41% of the total number of
respondents told us they had actually used lightgun signals in a
real-world situation. Another 11% were familiar with lightguns
and their use from training.
On the other end of the spectrum, 15% of respondents told us they
could identify and explain the signals, even though they've never
used lightguns. Another 22% confessed to not knowing the
signals but keeping an aid in the cockpit when they're flying.
A mere 5% of those polled said they don't know the meaning of the
signals and don't have a reference for them in their cockpit.
And 7% told us only that they have never used lightguns.
