Line Up and Wait
Hi All:
I am considering purchasing a IFR hood and was wanting some opinions.
I wear glasses. Not only that I have my bifocals on the top and bottom with a 14mm space in the middle. (I do a lot of overhead work.)
My first CFII had the "old style" Francis hood that was black and really restricts your vision. It would rub against the side of my glasses and was uncomfortable.
For my private check ride I used a free piece of paper with a elastic band on it. Okay for check ride but not for training.
Have any of you used foggles with regular glasses or glasses with bifocals?
I was looking at the "super hood" in Sporty's and was considering it.
What do you use to maintain currency? I was planning on flying with a safety pilot and not a CFII due to expense.
Your $0.02 appreciated. B)
Thanks;
Terry
