Question

Q. Why foggles and not screens? I'm guessing it's some sort of FAA requirement.

I've flown with both and find screens much more relaxing - foggles tend to push down on your nose and also prevent a proper seal forming around your ear with the headset.

Having said that, knowing just how many light aircraft there are in the Florida sky, foggles are much better from a collision avoidance point of view.

Thanks for doing this FFF - it's one of my favourite Wannabe threads ever, up there with Pilot Pete's 'how I made it' essay.
