Those commanding our flotilla today were cadets 10 to 15 years ago, and have spent half of the years in between holding shore appointments.

I'm sure sir, you remember a time when screens on the bridge were behind a dark curtain, so as not to interfere with night vision. Nowadays, the opposite is the case, those on the bridge are peering over the blue lit screens to the dark outside, and few seem to be keen to use the screens in night mode.
When I had cause to drive for work by night, we had an unwritten rule that no passenger would use the screen on the phone while the vehicle is in motion. The effect is akin to shining a torch in the drivers field of view it reflects on all internal glass and can obscure lights beyond.
Car satnavs.come with a night mode for the same reason.
Put lookouts in front of the screens, keep screens behind curtains, available to operate when required.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

As a Retired Ex-BA Short Haul Pilot we constantly dealt with changing light conditions both within and without the flight deck.It takes the Mark 1 Human Eyeball 45mins to adjust to Full Night Vision .....in a fully fit and healthy individual ......however this is not a precise science .....technology adds to the issue of " Lack of Situational Awareness"of the Operator ...be he or she a Pilot/Navigator/Astronaut/Driver etc etc ...due to its focusing the user to use his/her spare brain capacity in interpretating what info the system(s) is presenting to him/her.............ie .....simply ...What the F##K is going on here/now ? .....Too much info for the Human Brain ...something will give .......Management of how to cope in these modern Bridge/Flight Deck Environments to deal with the correct human interface with technology is i believe the key...........Very simply ...."What are we looking at ??" ...and "What do I do Correctly Now " ....

Perhaps like my 191 car there should be a sensor, when selected, that will select the correct screen for a given ambient luminence. Read the Australian report. Just Google it.
