Use 'em. Like 'em. I set them on my nose so the view out the windscreen
is in focus and the panel is in focus. Then when I have the sectional in
my lap..it's in focus.

This is all very enlightening. I hope to resume my PPL training soon, after
a 20-year hiatus. I was fitted with progressives last year, and have adapted
to them fairly well. (I did not try the lined lenses).

It did not occur to me that there might be problems in the cockpit related
to these lenses. I do very well while driving, now that my brain has adapted
to the zones, so I assumed reading the instrument panel would be similar. i
gather it will e, based on what I've read so far in this thread.

I do find my peripheral vision is best from the center up.
