Pros
I like that you can flip the pages all the way around.
Cons
I feel like a spastic trying to operate the rings. The pages can get jammed on the ring pivots and get hard to remove.
General Comments
I have just started on my IFR rating and am experimenting with different things. I will probably use a different approach plate binder system than this one. However, whichever system it is, I'll be getting it from you guys. I plan on flying over and visiting your place soon and am really looking forward to it.

Pros
I was looking for a way to have all the plates in a binder that would clip to my knee board. Easy to clip to a knee board and read the plate if the plate is oriented away from the clips.
Cons
If the top of the plate is oriented with clips at the top of the page, the clips are too big to clip to the knee board.
General Comments
Overall, pretty good method of holding IFR plates together.

Pros
Nice to have something to hold all of your approach plates.
Cons
The rings are poorly structured. They don't stay together so your plates can just fall out.
General Comments
Its a neat little binder however just using a couple of those rings to hold them together is more beneficial as the rings you can buy from wal-mart are a higher quality than the ones you find on this binder.

better to have loose leaf than a binding... it will never close on you... you can also take out a plate and and put in a flight planner

Pros
Inexpensive
Cons
it's difficult to get the charts loaded and unloaded into the binder. It's not worth the effort to take a single chart out of the binder - you're better off just tearing it out.
General Comments
This is not a typical binder - it doesn't "pop" open, you have to open each ring individually and it's difficult to get everything lined up to load up the charts.

Cons
Used this twice and both units wouldn't stay together. Thus, during flight on an approach the pages were either getting stuck in the clamps or the pages were falling out. Very poorly made. I went back to the regular booklet approach plates.

Pros
I prefer punched charts, and these are durable and inexpensive.
Cons
You will have trouble with the interlocking rings, they get mis-aligned and don't always lock smoothly. The covers are clunky to flip around.
General Comments
The best solution available for holding punched charts.

Pros
Lies flat on lap or seat. Far superior to the bound charts. Vinyl is tough.
Cons
Rings can be hard to open and thread through holes in plates. Over time, the rings may bend and not stay closed.
General Comments
I wouldn't fly IFR without them.

I like this folder for NACO's as it protects the charts well.
Cons
It can be kind of difficult to get charts in and out, as well as flipping through pages quickly is not incredibly easy.
General Comments
The pro out weigh the cons.
