brownout

In aviation, a brownout (or brown-out) is an in-flight visibility restriction due to dust or sand in the air.
In a brownout, the pilot cannot see nearby objects which provide the outside visual references necessary to control the aircraft near the ground. This can cause spatial disorientation and loss of situational awareness leading to an accident. Pilots have compared landing during brownouts to parallel parking an automobile with one's eyes closed.
