Review:
I've been waiting for something to help me orient myself to unfamiliar airports while in flight. Trying to figure what runway to use given crosswinds used to drive me crazy. In addition, I was not always certain how the runway configuration would present itself given my heading to the airport. This little tool does it all. It is so compact, it fits in my tri fold lap organizer

Review:
I wish I had this tool during my Pilot training, it would have save me a lot of headaches and a lot of money. Its simple to use, I was able to accurately land my airplane on the right runway multiple times, without issues. Note, that prior preparation and practice is part of a safe landing, so don't wait to the last minute to learn to use it. Level of difficulty; medium for untrained pilots, easy for trained pilots.

Pros: Very easy to use
Cons: None
Review:
A perfect tool to carry with you when listening to ATIS or AWOS on a flight to determine (with little effort) the runway to land on! Tired of having to hear the wind speed and direction and then try (in my head) to determine the optimal runway to land on.

Review:
**NOTE** when you get it, the two runways will be aligned with one-another, you need to slide the disks apart - otherwise it appears like it only has one runway.
I don't know why anyone would not give this 5 stars - what a clever little tool! Easy to use, well-constructed and durable. I use it as a teaching aid for student pilots so that they can better visualize how to do the same thing using the VOR compass ring (mental math has no place in the cockpit =)
Must have for any CFI who wants to help students visualize how to figure out which runway to land on.
