A '''view limiting device''' simulates [[Instrument meteorological conditions]] (IMC) by restricting a pilots [[field of view]] only to the [[Control panel (engineering)|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 to maintain currency for acting as pilot in command under [[instrument flight rules]].<ref>{{Cite web
