Windshield Reference Markers
| The IMFI text recommends
using dry erase markers to mark small horizontal and vertical reference
lines on the aircraft's windshield. Some pilots have reported problems
getting the dry erase marks to completely erase off the Plexiglass.
A better solution is to use small suction cups to mark the required reference
points on the windshield as shown below.

172 R/S Instrument Cover
Many of the techniques taught
in IMFI require several of the primary flight instruments to be covered.
Covering the instruments ensures that the student properly gathers perceptions
from outside references rather than the flight instruments.
