Straight from a pilot's mouth, to paraphrase the familiar saying

I'm not a real life pilot myself but i asked a mate of mine who is about is. He's flying regional airliners now, but going through his license training he accumulated quite some time on prop aircraft too. There's a mandatory transition from private to commercial to airline license and the "smaller" licenses have about 200 hours on prop planes, maybe more if you take instrument rating training into account.

He told me that their instructors warned them about this and advised them to look ahead and through the prop disc, instead of focusing on it, when the sun was at their backs. So i guess it happens in reality as well.
