ABSTRACT:
A pilot training apparatus for selectively occluding pilot vision along a forward line of sight. The apparatus including a lens having a vision occluded region and a vision permissive region. The lens is coupled to a detent means which allows the lens to be moved from a training position where the lens is positioned in the forward line of sight of the pilot and an non-training position where the lens is positioned out of the forward line of sight of the pilot. When in the training position, the lens occludes the vision of the pilot exterior of the aircraft cockpit, while permitting the vision interior of the aircraft cockpit toward the instrument panel.
