I use one of the small white plastic hoods with elastic that goes 'round the head, the headset, everything -- most important, though, it goes on OVER the headset. It's very comfortable, light weight, and does indeed restrict the field of vision. I have noticed that in Cessnas, anyway, putting a folded-up map on the pilot's side of the windshield wrap-around is necessary to fully block out the left corner of my vision. No, this hood does NOT pivot (as some of the larger, plastic adjustable headband types do). What do you do at DH? You either just look up, or pull off the hood and toss it at your instructor! -- Alan M.
