View Limiting Device aka Foggles - Northstar Aviation

The View Limiting Device, commonly known as Foggles, is a fundamental tool for student pilots learning how to fly solely by instruments. Whether you love them or hate them, foggles are essential for developing the skills necessary to handle low-visibility conditions. These goggle-style view-limiting devices are designed to obscure everything from view except for the airplane's instrument panel. This allows pilots to focus on their instruments and hone their instrument flying skills in a safe, controlled environment. By training with foggles on, you build confidence in your ability to fly using instruments, which is crucial for flying in low-visibility or instrument meteorological conditions (IMC).

Foggles are indispensable for any flight training program, as they help students practice maintaining control and situational awareness while relying entirely on instruments, a skill that will help immensely during your instrument training and checkrides. The View Limiting Device comes with adjustable stems, making it suitable for most pilots, and it includes a protective soft-cloth bag for safe storage when not in use.

Whether you are a student pilot just starting or an experienced aviator looking to brush up on your instrument skills, foggles are a must-have in your flight bag. They are an affordable and effective way to improve your instrument flying proficiency and prepare for real-world flying scenarios.
