Review:
I'm a professional pilot and mostly I fly to the same airports. I keep those in this handy sized 'binder'. Most time I go fly I leave the two pound Jeppesen binders (reachable) in the flight case, grab this and the headset, good to go!
There are too few pages for larger airports so I bunch the approach plates in one pocket and put the one I'm going to use up front.
The price is too high for what you get... it's a convenience thing more than a necessity.

Great addition to the flight bag!
By Chris M

on Monday, December 02, 2013
Pros: Securely keeps your approach plates neatly organized
Cons: Needs a few more page inserts.
Review:
I saw my instructor using this product several years ago when I was working on my IR and determined then I had to have it in my flight bag. I strongly recommend using this, it will (literally) make your cockpit workload lighter! It also includes IFR quick reference material inside.

Very solid product
By Jason
from Seattle WA USA
on Monday, January 13, 2020
Pros: I use it to store backup paper plates for my common airports. It does a great job to organizing all those plates.
Cons: The caution note needs a caution note.
Review:
It would get 5 stars except that the first transparent holder has a stain from the caution note to avoid heat. The stain is right in the middle making seeing the plate underneath tough to read.

Useful IFR info at your fingertips but the material needs some care.
By SoCal Flyer
from Southern California
on Friday, March 06, 2020
Pros: Useful IFR rules
Cons: Vinyl stains and warps
Review:
Useful tips at your fingertips and helps organize all the information needed by a student IFR pilot. I do not see this much use after the initial learning curve since one would eventually graduate to a EFB. As for the information, I found it almost complete; only holding patterns are missing.
The material needs care. As mentioned in other reviews, it comes with a sticker warning about warping. But the sticker should also warn against leaving printouts in the holders because the ink will eventually stain the vinyl. Even the sticker itself left a stain that would not come off with alcohol. I ended up scraping it off with my fingernail. Maybe retailers can do future customers a favor and remove that sticker from their items in inventory.

Excellent Product
By Luke
from Liverpool NY USA
on Monday, June 28, 2010
Pros: Very easy to bring along and its a great organizer.
Cons: Could use some more plastic holders.
Review:
Its a great product and I feel very organized. Not happy with the amount of plastic holders. A lot of airports have more than 3 approach plates, especially the ones with STARs and SIDs.

Nice quick reference
By Heliflyr
from Middletown NY USA
on Monday, April 18, 2011
Pros: Compact, organized, nice refresher
Cons: limited to fixed-wing information
Review:
Great little organizer with handy reminders and refreshers. The only down side for me is that I'm a helicopter pilot and the regs and procedures are limited to fixed wing rules.

By Lew

Pros: Well organized information and approach plates.
Cons: Not enough clear plastic inserts.
Review:
This is an outstanding product for the IFR pilot. It keeps your approach plates organized and easily found when needed through the use of dividers. Also, IFR information is printed throughout the booklet as reminders.

Definitly a Necessity
By A Customer
from Kissimmee FL USA
on Thursday, March 26, 2009
Pros: Organization, Speed
Cons: Needs more plastic holders
Review:
By far the most helpful organizer for IR flights. Lets you plan out your flight and keep everything in one easy to view organizer. It could use a couple more plastic page holders. Over all a very good product.

This product holds IFR charts perfectly. The organizer is segmented with arrival, departure, alternate and a fourth section so access is easy and quick.

Very Handy
By Charlie
from San Luis Obispo CA USA
on Monday, December 10, 2007
Pros: Simple design and easy to use
Cons: Very sensitive to heat, keep it off the glare shield!
Review:
I just got my instrument rating and this chart organizer really helped me get better organized. Transitioning from the departure plates to the approach plates is easy...no more having to pull charts from the binder in flight. I have also found that taking the time to pull the charts and review them before going into the organizer helps begin the process of better understanding the airport you are going to. Finally, having the charts in the organizer before reviewing NOTAMs makes it easy to access and update the information on the chart if necessary.

good concept
By Laurie
from Waukesha WI USA
on Friday, April 25, 2008
Pros: Lightweight, lots of dividers
Cons: none really, except a bit pricy
Review:
I like this for use in the DA40, as cockpit management is a bit tricky for IFR flight in that airplane. It has a stick, instead of a yoke, so there's really nowhere to attach your plates for easy viewing. You really need something for your lap, and this book makes it easy to pull out the charts you may need, and has ample space to put others, for "just in case" scenarios.

I have given this 4 stars because of the price if it were cheaper it would get 5 stars. It's a very handy thing to have and you can keep the approach plates you need the most with you and easily accesible.

A bit expensive but a lot more practical than setting your entire chart binder on your lap or taking each of the flimsy little charts out individually.
