You’re no doubt familiar with IFR training goggles, aka foggles, view-limiting devices that simulate flight in IMC. Sporty’s has introduced a new take on that idea with its VFR training goggles. Rather than blocking the view outside the airplane, Sporty’s VFR goggles were invented by a Sporty’s Academy flight instructor to keep primary students’ eyes off the flight instruments and out on the horizon, where they belong.
Sporty’s VFR Goggles are a New Take On an Old Idea
Key Takeaways:
- Sporty's has introduced new VFR training goggles, designed to keep primary flight students' eyes focused outside the aircraft on the horizon.
- The goggles address the problem of students becoming overly fixated on cockpit instruments during VFR training.
- They serve to prevent an over-reliance on gauges and encourage pilots to maintain situational awareness from external cues.
- An additional benefit is their use in emergency practice scenarios, such as electrical failure, where instruments are unreliable.
