news ![]() But I don't see that this does anything to improve the realism of these devices with regard to those illusions or visual efforts I mentioned earlier. Am I missing this? Disclaimer: I only read about this and have no practical experience. From what I understand, you are wearing blue safety glasses. These could be made tight against your face so everything you see has a blue tint to it. You peripheral vision is also blue. You have no problems seeing the instruments, they only have a blue tint to them. The windows are covered (on the inside) with orange cellophane/plastic. This gives the safety pilot an orange tint to everything outside the windows. When you look out the windows with your blue glasses, all you see is grey. |

http://overtheairwaves.com/ I refer to the first article on this page. Cite "Hey . . . anybody can fly these airplanes," goes the hype! /Cite The author would have lamented the marketing for the early tricycle geared aircraft from Cessna. The idea behind simulations for education is one that's of interest to me. Given a gross mistrust of schools (and prompted by an excellent if poorly named book on teaching math to children: http://www.csam.montclair.edu/~kenschaft/Mathpower.html), I've been introducing math to my 4 yo. Recent additions to his education have been negative numbers and number lines. But given those, I introduced a couple of days ago how the pairing of two number lines can be used for addition and subtraction. It's a "simulation" of the mental process (and also an introduction to mechanical computing, which I view as having its own value). Is this a Bad Thing? I'm teaching use of a tool very early. So I've some doubts. On the other hand, I've found a site with printable paper E6Bs. That's one of my goals for the future pilot grin. - Andrew |
