A view limiting device simulates Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) by restricting a pilots field of view only to the instrument panel. They are worn by pilots who are working toward an instrument rating, which allows a pilot to fly into conditions that are less than favorable for visual flight. They are also used by instrument-rated pilots for practicing instrument flight.
