Review on ๐Ÿ•ถ๏ธ BLACK BLOCKALLS IFR View Limiting Device by Athenasby Whitney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well as a handy IMC 'carry it all' simulator set but not great in the sun and a bit pricey.

Very portable view restrictor. Easy to store in my pilot bag. Performance is good too, limiting the view out of all windows on the C182 except for the roughly six inch diameter in the lower left corner in my view. However, when flying the IMC model in broad daylight, I found that I missed the sun protection ability of the standard IFR canopy. Light mostly hits your eyes directly when you turn after your pupils have dilated since 90% of your vision is blocked. . .I give 4 stars for the convenience of always taking the kit with me when flying with other pilots for a quick IMC simulation, but I would stick with the canopy for general training if you have room to take it with me. Also: $20 for a $5 line of shades with paint on them. . . I would hope for something like 10โ‚ฌ or so.

Pros
  • Made in the USA from domestic and imported materials.
Cons
  • Wrinkled
