non blind/ hooded.just eyes down for me , eyes out for him and the occasional glance up / out for me to get a visual reference for localiser / glide slope
He has not said he intends to fly serious hooded and blind appproaches!
From what I can tell he wants to fly a visual ILS to practice flying the needles while looking out and comparing what he sees on the instruments to what he sees visually. He has a competent observer in his son who can be his eyes for him for the short periods that he is looking at the instruments in an environment where he is protected from other traffic.
An excellent idea for improving his understanding and familiarity but be clear with ATC what you want to do.
Also MSFS is a good training platform if you have access to one or buy some time on a sim.
