Hi. I will soon start to take my first lessons to getting my PPL and am looking for good sunglasses.

I've heard that polarized sunglasses are generally not good for flying because of two reasons:

1: In glass cockpits I won't be able to see the screens well.

2: Airplanes' windshields are already polarized.

The first reason doesn't concern me since I won't be studying on a glass cockpit aircraft, nor will be using them later on (at least in the near future).

About the second one - I don't know.. This is probably true when speaking of Boeing's, but is this true for Cessna's as well? Are 172's and 152's windshields polarized? Since if they aren't - I will probably go for polarized sunglasses..

Thanks.
