Use the Sun Visor to Manage Glare
Glare can be a problem even on dull days – use the sun visor, especially flying into a low sun, and put the sunshade up when you pack the aircraft away.

Even when the sun isn't blazing, glare in the cockpit can still be an issue. Use the sun visor to keep the sun out of your eyes, especially when flying towards the sun in the morning or evening.
When you pack the aircraft away, remember to put the sunshade up on the dash so the cockpit doesn't turn into a sauna for the next pilot. If the aircraft you're flying doesn't have one, let an instructor know.
