Crystal Pilot Aviation Acronym Placard with Sectional and WAC Scale (Medium Size) and METAR Cheat Sheet with VFR-IFR Flight Planning Note Board

Very good just what I needed

Simple, clean and easy, I love it! Carrying it with me everywhere and a quick reference point in my aviation life. I can't recommend it highly enough.

I have periodically found myself floundering through all the abbreviations for weather in the METAR and TAF FAA reports. Of course I can open another webpage while I’m reading the report and then go back to the webpage with the information on it. But I'm finding this gets tedious and confusing. What I really got these placard's for is to have the weather identifier abbreviations on an easy to see card in one place. This heavy-duty laminated card fits the bill. It coincidentally has WAC and sectional scales printed along the outer edge. The opposite part of the laminated card has a variety of information to jot down about departures notes in arrivals, such as the ATIS, frequencies, etc, but you would have to use a marker that could be wiped off when you were done writing it down and wanted to start again. The other card in the set has a certain number of acronyms, such as PAVE for pilot, aircraft, environment, external pressures. I find these are kind of overkill. My favorite is “TOMATO FLAMES” which has 13 individual steps in it! I’ll stick to the simple ones like “GUMP”.

Crystal pilot has done it again, providing a compact, useful tool for study and flight planning. Well organized and appropriate for all levels of flight experience.

I found the Aviation Acronym Placard to be well-made with clear easy-to-read text. I would recommend anyone wanting to consolidate a wealth of aviation acronyms into a single easily accessible resource to purchase this placard.
