Mr. Hanahan's mention of foggle limitations brings the following point to
mind.

Having just completed my instrument training and checkride, I concur that
some of the foggles allow for a great great deal of cheating.

When I mentioned this to my CFII,  he dug into the depths of his ancient
Jepp case and brought out a pair of old woodshop goggles with blue
"painters' tape" applied to make a much more comfortable and far more
effective outside reference mask.

With tape applied correctly, and used with decent discipline on the part of
the student,  they formed an inexpensive solution.  Because it is so easy to
add a layer of tape to really fine tune the inhibiting aspects of these
glasses,  a custom fit for your particular viewing profile and habits is
ensured.

HINT> cut out the bottoms of the plastic shielding wrap-around for better
ventilation and comfort.

Wish I could take credit for this, but a tip of the hat to my CFII  David
Zeidler,  and my thanks to him for a very thorough and practical approach to
instrument flying.  (Yes, I passed)

---Regards to all,  build and fly safely,
Jeffrey B. Chipetine
