Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Jiffyhood fit over my prescription eyeglasses?
Yes. The Jiffyhood is specifically designed to be worn over eyeglasses, which is its primary advantage over traditional foggles. The adjustable elastic strap accommodates various head sizes, so pilots with prescription lenses can use it comfortably without removing their glasses during instrument training.
What is the Jiffyhood made of?
The hood is constructed from light gray plastic. The material is durable enough to withstand repeated training sessions while remaining lightweight, so it does not add noticeable bulk or discomfort during flight.
Can I store it in my flight bag?
Yes. The Jiffyhood is compact and can be rolled up to fit easily in a standard flight bag, making it a practical accessory to carry on every flight where instrument training or currency practice is planned.
How does the quick-release feature work during approach training?
The adjustable elastic strap is designed for fast removal, allowing an instructor to quickly lift the hood off to simulate the moment a student breaks out of clouds on an IFR approach. This makes scenario-based training more realistic without interrupting the flow of the exercise.
Does it fully block outside visual references?
Yes. The Jiffyhood blocks outside visual references completely, requiring the pilot to rely solely on the instrument panel. This is the core purpose of any view-limiting device used in instrument training.
Who is this hood intended for?
It suits student pilots working toward their instrument rating as well as certificated pilots maintaining IFR currency. Flight schools also find it practical because it transitions quickly between multiple students during a single session.
Is the strap one-size-fits-all?
The elastic strap is adjustable and fits a variety of head sizes.
Who makes the Jiffyhood and what is the model number?
The Jiffyhood is made by ASA (Aviation Supplies and Academics), a well-known publisher and supplier of aviation training materials. The manufacturer part number is H2G.
Fits great, and allows the user to use his glasses.
Works great, gets the job done, allows you to keep wearing sunglasses - slightly blocks view of MFD, but they are foggles made to block vision.
Very good, works great with those of us that need to wear glasses.
Quick, easy to use. No conflict with glasses (unlike foggles!) and a really low price. Great deal!
I used this hood through my instrument training and beyond. As long as you aren't a cheater, it does an excellent job of blocking all outside reference. There were times I couldn't even tell if we were in or out of IMC. Unlike other hoods and foggles I had tried, this hood worked well with glasses.
