Made with heat resistant silicon
Sporty's® developed this simple silicon disc with a suction cup on the back to allow you to practice instrument flying with a "failed instrument" (partial panel) and also to cover an instrument that actually fails in flight. Failed instruments, especially the attitude indicator, are dangerous because it is difficult to ignore their erroneous presentation which can lead to loss of control. Provides an easy and inexpensive way to practice any combination of instrument failures and very important when a real failure occurs. Measures 3 1/8 in. dia. Extra thick suction cup holds fast to any instrument gauge. A must for all pilots.

Pros
Excellent to simulate failed instruments. Much better option than post-it's or using a ripped piece of paper on the fly.

Cons
I had some trouble at first with the suction cup sticking. I haven't used them enough to tell if is a consistent problem or a one time occurrence.

Covers instrument completely. Quick on and off. Light weight. easy to store in a headset bag.

It's a suction cup system. Like any suction cup, sometimes it will fall off after a while. You have to be sure to make a good seal.
