Good features, just don't bump it!
by Matthew from Australia 
Pros: Great features
Cons: Battery cover falls off
Review: I use this for day to day flight as a Blackhawk QFI. The features have proved very handy, I use the fuel timer for ops normal countdowns, and the approach timings allow me to program in all of the relevant times for approaches at home or away. It is relatively easy to use, however if you set a countdown such as 30 minutes for an ops normal, it will not reset to 30 once complete.

The only negative is the battery cover which comes off at the slightest bump, not the best in a battlefield helicopter. The batteries often follow the cover which then resets your time that you took so much effort to update. Easy to fix with a bit of masking tape across the back, but hopefully it can be adjusted for future models.

Too expensive for what its worth.
by Brian M from BHM 
Pros: Big numbers Velcro attachment
Cons: Easily mashed buttons which reset or change the clock. Clip is not very sturdy, Price
Review: I got this timer to replace and old cooking timer I was using. I liked the big numbers on it and easiness to read. I wish the knob was smaller and the timer would not reset itself when buttons get mashed in my flight bag, maybe a button locking feature would be nice. I work as advertised, I like the watch feature for Zulu and LCL time. It's not bad but definitely not worth  $44.

Not a bad timer, but I think I got a dud
by Richard from Boone NC USA 
Pros: Easy to read, locate and use
Cons: doesnt keep time very well, requires constant resetting
Review: I like the timer, easy to read, lights up nice at night but the one I received has one issue. It doesnt keep time, after 2 weeks or so, the clock is an hour and a half off. The chrono/fuel/hold is very accurate though. Considering I mostly use it to time flights/spproaches it's not a huge problem for me.

Underwhelmed
by Joseph from Jasper IN USA 
Pros: Large numbers
Cons: Touchy start/stop button at the top.
Review: I do not feel that this product met my expectation for ease of use. I find the start/stop button at the top too touchy. Needs to be more of a click on and click off type response. The battery cover fits poorly. I find it difficult to set and use the fuel timer. I think I will go back to using a simple stop watch or my Iphone with sporty's app.

Simple to use & effective
by Mike from El Dorado Hills CA USA 
Pros: Simple, Easy to Use, Easy to read, Effective
Cons: Can be difficult to find an effective mount
Review: This product is very easy to use and has a lot of helpful features including UTC/Local Time, Fuel Timer, various approach timers and Count down/up. Very useful for timing holds and setting up approach times in advance. I use this with a yoke mount and everything stays right in my scan. I would recommend this to anyone flying in IMC or doing IFR training.

by Aldo from SANTA CATARINA, BRAZIL 
Review: Great Flight Timer. It misses a ON/OFF button switch, but it's OK. I little bit too expensive (I guess). Fuel timer works both ways (progressive/regressive) and the approach timers do it as well.

I would buy this product again
by Joel from Gainesville FL USA 
Review: I like the big dial. Makes setting timer while flying, navigating, etc. very easy.

Missing a critical feature
by Edward from Sparks NV USA 
Review: Certainly has everything one would want in a timer, and works fine. What is missing is an audio output to your headset or intercom. A timer that just beeps in a noisy cockpit while the pilot is wearing a noise-canceling headset is a timer that, for all practical purposes, doesn't beep. Need an input into the headset or intercom to be really usefull, or some kind of strobe that goes off when the time expires, or something to draw the pilot's attention.

Little pricey, highly effective!!
by Christopher from Richmond TX USA 
Pros: Easy to control, large display
Cons: $$$$$$$
Review: This is an awesome timer. The buttons are spread out so if you have chubby fingers like me, then you do not have to worry about mashing other buttons accidently. The display is bright and easy to interpet. I am a helicopter pilot, so I use this with the TiMount Kneeboard Timer mount, and they work beautifully together. No more having to worry about taking you hands off one of the control sticks and getting out of trim due to you having to bend over a reaching for the timer on the panel. The mount places this timer just right there by your left hand on the top of your kneeboard. I am giving this four stars only because of the price.

Totally happy that I purchased this
by Mark from Wausau, WI - USA 
Pros: Easy to use, many functions, counts up and down, good alarm functions.
Cons: None that I have found
Review: There are some that will look at this and say that much $$$? If you want an excellent timer that is easy to use and performs many functions look past the couple of extra bucks you'll spend on this and know that if you use a timer often, this is the one to have. You will also find that with all of the functions packed into this device, you may use it more. It is easy to set up, the alarm(s) work well and the controls are user friendly.

by Mark from Highland, IN 
Review: Great timer. Every function you need it has. Worth the money over the others. My only complaint is the round knob can be a little sticky at times which delays the task at hand. Could also use a case to carry it.

Glorified Kitchen Timer
by Conor from Albany NY USA 
Pros: strong backlight, loud chime, simple interface
Cons: extraneous note function
Review: I use it for timing commonly-made bake items -- up to twelve of them, but only one at a time. It's also excellent at keeping track of when the dryer will finish. There are two concurrent timers: your approach timer, and the fuel timer. There's also a chronograph that can run concurrently with the two timers. The clock will display local time in 12 or 24-hour format, and also displays Zulu (calculated as an offset from local time). There's a little "note" area where you can store something the length of a squawk code, but the interface for this timer doesn't lend itself to high-speed entry of anything but round numbers, so it's not particularly useful if you're trying to copy a clearance.

Too expensive for a timer
by James from GA 
Pros: Good size
Cons: Price and no OFF switch
Review: I was searching for a good timer and found the ASA Flight Timer. Like many here said you can not turn the timer OFF because there is no OFF switch. It works well, has a good size but it is pretty expensive for a simple timer in my opinion. A few days ago a friend of mine showed me an Iphone app (Flight Chronograph) that performs the same functions, has a nice display and most importantly it vibrates (making it easier to know when your timers/approaches have reached their marks) and it costs way less.

Design quality lacking
by Walt from Framingham MA USA 
Pros: Good timer.
Cons: Having to reset the clocks each time the batteries fall out.
Review: The clock/timer functions are great, however, the catch for the battery cover is weak. The cover falls off and the batteries fall out if it gets bumped.

Review: Easy to program; lots of functions.

Gets the job done
by Matt from Kailua-Kona HI USA 
Pros: Holds more approaches than I will need to use
Cons: There is no "OFF" button, so when I put it in my flight bag and leave for the day, if I accidentally hit a button it will be timing something until the next day, which means the batteries are draining. That's probably the only thing I don't like about it.
Review: Overall satisfied.

Works as it should
by Todd from FPO AP USA 
Pros: lots of timer functions
Cons: Sensitive selector knob.
Review: The product works as an excellent timer, with plenty of different timer and stopwatch functions. However, the selection knob can be a little to sensitive at times and often passes the time selection that I want.

Nice Timer
by A Customer from Random Lake WI USA 
Review: Got this timer along with the short yoke clip for instrument training in a 172P. Works well

great timer, needs mods
by James from Tucson AZ USA 
Review: Great timer but has no on/off switch, so you have to turn it off when you put it in your flight bag and lose all your data. otherwise would def recommend.

Great Functionality - Funky Mounting System
by Mac from Oregon City OR USA 
Pros: Easy to operate
Cons: Swivel Clip on back
Review: I like everything about this timer except the mounting clip. I'm working out a way to fix it to the yoke on our Skylane RG but I would like to have had something besides the metal swivel clip to start with. Not a deal killer, just a little nuisance. By far the best timer I've owned in 30 years!

precise and accurate

Good timer
by Robert from Los Angeles CA USA 
Pros: Big numbers, great info
Cons: Almost too much "stuff"
Review: I am going to give it 4 stars because it is a good timer. NEVER leave in direct sunlight - will burn out the display. Timer works well, except the fuel timer is a pain - rather than reverting back to the 30 minutes for the tank swap you have to reset the 30 - which is perhaps the last thing you have time for when entering a hold, tear-drop entry, non-standard, while climbing... Some of the nice features are that the different timers are great and all run at the same time. You can also pre-program an approach time, with an alarm which you can actually hear (albeit faint) when you reach the MAP. It also doesn't "turn off to save battery" unless you pull the batteries (which means you have to reset the clock) - that can be really annoying, as it always starts one of the chronos in your flight bag.

Pretty cool
by David from Sarver PA USA 
Pros: Size. Easy to use.
Cons: Rotating clip should lock in place 360 degrees
Review: I like it. Easy to use. Lights up and beeps. Rotating clip. I turn the clip 180 degrees and clip it onto my lap belt.

Great timer
by Tim from Ohio 
Pros: easy to use.
Cons: Expensive, no case
Review: Easy to use with multiple capabilities. I gave it 4 stars because of the cost. Specifically, it would have been more worth the price if it came with a case. When I put it in my flight bag other items press against the thumb and/or light button even though it is in its own pocket. I have had to fashion my own carrying case to protect it. Funtionally speaking it is a great product.

I Like this product and would highly recomend it for VFR and IFR
by Larry from Lindale TX USA 
Pros: Easy to use , easy to read.
Review: I like all the functions that run at the same time. Put the wind direction/speed in the note pad. Put 1 min. increments in the approach timer for holding patterns and timed approaches.

My husband loved it!
by A Customer from Vero Beach FL USA 
Review: My husband is in flight school and has been using a kitchen timer, while looking for a smaller one. I got him this for Christmas. He loves it. I did have him read the reviews so he'd be aware the pros and cons, but he's had no complaints.

Fits the bill

Pros: Easy one handed operation (for helos), large readable display, clip/velcro mounting options OK for small kneepad
Review: Although I have not used this in anger yet, I think it will be a good addition to the flight gear.

by A Customer from FARGO ND 
Review: Sometimes too easy to change clock time. It would be nice if it had 2 running chronographs. One that could be reset, and one to run total time. (And stilll keep the count down timer.)
