Shannon 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 Neesern, IMC IFR no pakai hood kah? on IFR they usually just put a sunshade ( like the ones used in cars ) infront of you to obstruct your view outside. Hoods mostly used for local IF flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Min Chun 0 Report post Posted June 3, 2006 I heard that when you wear hood, it is quite scary or very exciting. Cant see anything but the instrument only.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony 1 Report post Posted June 4, 2006 Neesern, good stuff Mind me asking the camera model you're using? I heard that when you wear hood, it is quite scary or very exciting. Cant see anything but the instrument only.. According to my mate, scary for the first time - after VFR all the while, he's used to looking outside of the cockpit whilst flying. But when it's time for IFR, he's supposed to trust and rely on the instruments. Not getting the view out there can somehow be worrying. "But you'll get used to it after some time", he says.

For me i use to have a hard time trusting my instruments, kept trying to look out side..... slowly getting use to it now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
