we do the same thing with our pre-solo glider students.. cover the airspeed
and altimeter at altitude and they have to get back to the runway with "what
looks and feels right"... most are high.. which is a good thing.. with
3500ft of runway.. and only needing 500ft stop... it works out

Since yesterday I'm a bit more confident about my piloting.
Now I know I can land my plane without instruments and I feel a lot
more safer knowing this.

Each of my students received one full lesson in and out of the
traffic pattern with the entire instrument panel covered with a
piece of paper for the complete lesson. Of course, they had been
taught from the begining to rely on the tachometer and visual
attitude and not the airspeed indicator when landing.
