Foggles or Hood
I am looking at buying a pair of foggles or a hood for IR training. I am just not sure what is best.
I wear glasses so what ever I get I need to consider how they will fit. I have tried both already. I found the hood kept slipping about and the foggles did not fit over my glasses. So does anyone have any recommendations on what is better and specific makes? |
I was under the impression that the IR has to be done with screens, doesn't it say that in the standards documents?

Never mind hood/foggles/screen. fold your half mil chart a certain way, pop it under your headset, bang. instant imc. youll look pretty sharp too.
IR training has to be behind screens as far as the CAA are concerned. |

G'Day!
Screens are by far the best way to go, or a specially folded map as someone pointed out. Reason being that the foggles or hood are not foolproof, and as honest a guy as you may be, if your shooting a VOR or NDB approach and you catch a glimpse of the runway out the corner of your eye, it becomes difficult not to make a correction if it is needed. With the screens you cant see s**t, so no room for that happening! WJ |
