Nope, It's a "see-through" display.


The solid bar that supports the 'see through display' blocks some peripheral vision.

I don't think that this will stop everyone from using it because some people already fly with big vision blocking hat brims. A hat brim would probably help keep the screen from "washing out" in direct sunlight.
