A Long Awaited Resource

  • By Daniel from Rochester NY USA on Thursday, June 04, 2015
  • Pros: Compact, easy to use
  • Cons: None yet
  • 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

I knew I'd love it from the moment I saw it.

  • By A Customer from Acton MA USA on Wednesday, March 01, 2017
  • Pros: User friendly, commonsensical approach.
  • Cons: None, yet.
  • 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.

Great little tool

  • By mark from Bozeman MT USA on Thursday, June 03, 2021
  • 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.

Very nice and useful tool!

  • By on Monday, October 31, 2022
  • 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.

It looks like a great tool.When you making an approach to an unfamiliar air port especially if it has four runways it's always nice to have an edge??I am going to purchase this product in the near future
