Review:
Definitely the best way to be organized in the cockpit when flying VFR or IFR. I say VFR because approach plates have a lot of really useful information and in my opinion it's the best way to have everything you need when you need it. I would suggest getting the yoke clip. I bought this one and it works really well (In both 172/182). The chart planner is very well built and has lots of handy information on the pages that separate the different sections. It's good to have your approach plate out and in plain view. You don't have to fumble around with your plate on your lap or knee board. It's just one less thing you have to manage when flying IMC. We all know how important single pilot resource management is and this is just one more tool that helps. It allows you to keep your eyes on your gauges with a slight glance down to reference your plate. I highly recommend the chart planner. I don't fly without it.

My Pilot Husband LOVED it
By Kari
from Coeur D Alene ID USA
on Friday, February 19, 2016
Pros: He loves adding things to it
Cons: NONE
Review:
I was weary of getting him this for his Birthday, because some of the reviews said it was redundant or worthless. But I did it anyway, because my hubs has been working on getting his IFR for some time and thought it could help. When he got it he was thrilled! He has already filled it up with all of his departure and landing info and there is only one blank page. So definitely recommend this for any pilot who likes to be organized. Thank you for not making my bday gift to him suck.

Cons:
Review:
Product is well designed and keeps things organized. If you are using protective sleeves for your plates they may fall out so insert only the paper and you are good to go.

This is the second one of these that I have owned.
By Curt - CFII
from Rockford, IL
on Wednesday, May 19, 2010
Pros: Easy and convinient to use in flight
Cons: Expensive. Warps in heat and sunlight
Review:
I love this product so much, that when the defrost vent on the Arrow destroyed my first one, I ordered a new one after I landed. Great at organizing plates, while making them easy to swap out, find, and view in flight. Unfortunately, the price seems kind of steep, and any heat or direct sunlight will warp and destroy it.

An organized cockpit
By Bob
from Birmingham AL USA
on Wednesday, May 26, 2010
Pros: Spiral bound, tabbed sections, clear markings, multiple pouches to hold charts
Cons: Charts must be removed to write on and make notes
Review:
The IFR flight chart organizer is an excellent way to keep a clean cockpit, especially during approach phases. The left side spiral bound book provides ample sleeves to hold airport diagrams, approach charts, and terminal procedures. There are tabs for the departure airport, the destination airport, the alternate, and a miscellaneous tab. The organizer clips nicely to a kneeboard or can be used with yoke clips.

Great cockpit organizer
By Patrick Herklotz
from Colorado Springs, CO
on Monday, June 28, 2010
Pros: 3-4 pages per tab for the different ypes of approaches you may practice in IFR training each lesson
Cons: Labeled section tabs should be before the approach plate pages, not after the section you want!
Review:
Must have to keep a clean cockpit during approach organization allows for one less activity to perform to stay on top of flying when the workload goes up during approach/decent to landing. The tabs provide ready access to plates for your destination and alternate in a very easy to access format that my CFI recommended and that will undoubtedly be useful for the check ride.

Great organizational tool
By A Customer
from Tampa FL USA
on Wednesday, July 07, 2010
Review:
This product is very easy to use and is a great organizational tool. It is the perfect size to securely hold any airport diagrams, approach plates, enroute charts, etc. The plastic material of the page holders allows the student to use grease pencils or dry erase markers to make notes, draw holding patterns, etc. and then easily wipe them clean. On each of the dividers are printed a wide variety of very helpful "quick reference" information and reminders. My only critique is the number of page holders in each section. It would be helpful to have a couple more in each.

Going through the maps was always such a pain for my husband, so when I saw this book I thought what a great gift to ease stress on any flight. Too many new private pilots fly by-the-sit of their pants, when just a little prep could keep our skies so much safer. I loved it!

Great Organizing Tool
By A Customer
on Monday, October 13, 2008
Pros: Many pockets, Helpful Information, Great Organization
Cons: slips a little
Review:
This is a great product for IFR flight. It can hold plenty of approach plates for you destination as well as alternates. The section deviders have helpful IFR rules and tips that act as a quick reference to much needed information in flight. It is thin enough to clamp in to my approach plate yoke clip but tends to slip out if the flight is rough.

A pilot gadget that really helps!
By Ed

Pros: perfect size, fits on knee board
Cons: paper construction will limit life
Review:
Flying single-pilot IFR is a challenge and the IFR Flight Organizer really helps the busy pilot stay ahead of the game. The IFR Flight Organizer neatly holds your approach plates and enroute charts in the order they're needed. Pre-flight planning is improved too, as you prepare the Organizer you are led through all the information necessary for the departure, enroute, arrival and alternate segments.

Review:
This is really neat and seems to be quite sturdy. I did expect it to be a little bigger, like standard 8.5x11 page. However it is just about the size to fit in an approach chart torn from the procedures manual. I don't know why I expected differently other than I like to print out the approaches I am likely to need so I don't have to squint quite so bad :-). But really it is nicely organized and packed with useful facts and tidbits about IFR that might serve as nice memory joggers some day.

An IFR approach chart holder like this one was very hard to find. With the tabs you can easily find the charts you need quickly. With the cover the pages never get messed up. There's 9 clear holders, which means you can use both sides making it more than enough. Holds both NACO and Jepp charts
