    Pros

    Best device ever for handling TPPs. Better suited to the loose leaf than bound plates.

    Cons

    Newer TPP books are considerably thicker to accommodate the proliferation of new GPS approaches. The Vu-Plate may need to be made a bit deeper to accommodate the thicker books.

    Pros

    I have used this for years and found that the approach plates are held on your leg and will not fall off on the floor. The bound approach plates fit tightly in the kneeboard and I found it to be very worthwhile for holding the approach plates in one place so you refer to them.

    Buy a fine tip dry erase marker to go along with this, and you have the best approach plate setup ever. Great job on design, thank you Sporty's.

    Pros

    Easy to use, works great. Much better than a leg strap in the fact that you can take it off your leg and look up close or hand it to the other pilot.

    Cons

    Plexi-glass scratches easily. Maybe needs a pencil holder for grase pencils to write on the face.

    General Comments

    Good product overall. Makes cockpit management easier which is what we are all looking for, right?
