Shadow Rendering on Fuselage

Version Information

26.1 (15851 Beta)

Device Information

iPad Pro 13-inch (M4), iPadOS 26.2 (23C55)

Description

There are seemingly abnormal shadow renderings along the fuselage on the sun-facing side of the jet. Shadows appear as “thin-line” shadows involving the top and bottom thirds of the fuselage, as well as the mid outer engine cowlings. These abnormal shadows render only direct sunlight.

Abnormal shadow lines resolve with a change in time (out of direct sunlight).

Flight info/context:

  • B38M
  • Flying west-bound, FL380
  • Midday (12:30 hours MST, 19:30 Zulu).

Description

I observed this as well. Particularly noticeable at 13.15 local time (LTFM), a linear shadow forms on the side of the aircraft’s fuselage facing the sun.
