I HATE the foggles. I am required to wear reading glasses when I fly,

They work fine. But putting on the foggles makes me unable to read
even with the glasses. So I have to look down, raise the foggles
enough to be able to read, and then replace them. It sucks.


What kind of Foggles do you have? I have the clip-ons and they work
pretty well. The clear part got so scratched that I had a hard time
seeing so I took a hack saw blade and cut out the clear part leaving the
rest. Works pretty good. Of course the clip-ons aren't the best as a
view limiting device, but then again I don't cheat as I'd only be
cheating myself. FYI - when I took my check-ride many moons ago, the DE
had no problem with me using the clip-ons.
