Pros
Good idea for fast determination of airport approach headings.
Cons
Numerals were too small for easy reading, especially with sunglasses on. Most numbers (downwind, final, etc) ... lined up correctly, but a segment of headings did not. A little expensive for what it is.

With limitations, functions as advertised
Cons
Requires both hands to work. Very overpriced. Fair value would be closer to $7.00. It is only a two second aid at the kitchen table while flight planning. Print numbers too small to read in even slight turbulance
General Comments
When needed, a navigational aid should work as an aid, not a challenge. Product has a sound concept, but seems to be more interested in making money vs. assisting pilots.

As an older student this allowed me better situational awareness by allowing me to understand the runway and pattern orientation based upon my heading. The wheel is small and easy to use and fits in a flight bag with no problems.

None to speak of.

shows pattern headings.
Cons
Shows 45 degree entry but does not point to the heading numbers. You have to compute the reciprical.
Requires two hands to turn the disk because both sides spin. You have to hold the middle disk with one hand and turn an outer disk with the other!
