    This my third flight file. It's a great way to store approach plates and keep down clutter while having the necessary chart at hand.

    Cons

    Sleeves get brittle over time. Needs more pages.

    would not want to fly without this-very helpful in putting everything at your fingertips, and in the right order. Logically organzied. Helpful reminders printed on dividers; only thing missing I've noticed before is PIREP format which I wrote in with a Sharpie on one of the dividers.

    This was one of the best purchases i have made for instrument flight. Contains plenty of information on the inside pages such as the T's for instrument flight, weather requirements, and more. This is definitely worth buying for anyone working on their instrument rating or for those who want a nice, organized way to have the required approach plates ready to go!

    Cons

    Wish it had a few more sleeves for extra approach plates.

    great product. Makes IFR more organized. No longer do you have a stack of unbound approach plates that you are thumbing through trying to find the right one. Fits and clip very well to try fold knee board. All information concerning flight is just a couple pages away. An IFR must. Good shipping from Sporty's, I got it at my door in just a few days.

    Cons

    More of a suggestion, but maybe a earasable pen to write on the plastic sleeves for notes would be nice.

    I love what it does for cockpit organization. It was recommenced by someone on the Cherokee Chat.

    Cons

    Not really. Some might think it could be improved with removable pages but actually the pages are so easy to open and the take the "plate" out and put it in a yoke clip it is actually a good as removable pages.

    The only drawback I see is that the plastic actually does degrade the visibility of the plate a bit. That is why I take it out and put it on the yoke clip.

    Pros

    Good trip binder. Has everything organized.

    Cons

    Inside covers are now dark green instead of white so the flight plan form and other info printed on them is worthless in low light. Cheap plastic sleeves are not durable. GO BACK TO MAKING THEM THE WAY YOU USED TO! There is nothing worse than using a product for 10 years only to have them change it to a cheap version just to save money. I used to recommend these to students and fellow pilots but I will not anymore.

    General Comments

    I have used one of these since I started my instrument training over 10 years ago. They have lasted 2 to 3 years. Considering I fly for a 121 airline, that's pretty good! But the latest version is made with cheap, stiff mylar type plastic for the plate covers. They are NOT durable and are not going to last long.
