Suction cups
 

When I was a very new PPL student, I was chatting to my instructor one day, and he mentioned that he'd had a very embarassing IMC lesson earlier that day. It was his first IMC student for some time, and he was doing partial panel - but discovered he only had one suction cup. It was fine for covering a single instrument, but when he wanted to fail more instruments, he had to resort to using post-its.

I suggested that maybe he should have used post-its for all the instruments, then his student may not have even known of the existance of suction cups, let alone known the the instructor had lost most of his! Instructor thanked me, and used post-it notes from then on!

After my IMC course I went and bought some suction cups
just in case I ever need to take dodgy instruments out
of my scan...

It's surprising just how intrusive a non functioning - or worse, gyrating - AH is. :}

I always keep one or two of the suction cup instrument coverups in my headset or nav. bag.
