Look what the Aviation Writers are saying about
Author Peter Lert said this
about the Airsport PRO in February 1994 AIR PROGRESS:
"Overall, I'm extremely impressed with both the quality and the overall
cleverness of this product...I've been using it instead of the
factory-installed altitude alerters in the Part 135 charter turboprops I
fly...I have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending this fine product to any
pilot who flies a significant amount of IFR -- or even VFR in or near Class B
or C airspace...The first time an Airsport saves you from getting caught for an
inadvertent altitude violation, its price will more than make up for the cost
of an aviation attorney to defend you or mitigate the punishment."
Seth Golbey, Editor of AOPA PILOT, wrote in the November 1991 issue: "We may be dealing with a gentler, kinder FAA, but when it comes to altitude busts and transponder accuracy, pilots can't be too careful....AOPA PILOT editors have made a number of long cross-country flights with the Airsport Pro and found it to work exactly as advertised. If you don't already have an altitude alerter, consider this unit. If you want to continuously monitor the health of your transponder, it's your only choice. It's the sort of equipment that you come to miss when you don't have it."
"I flew the PRO on a recent trip, and it did everything as advertised. Unlike other altitude alerters, the PRO is completely self-contained and portable. No installation, no FAA paperwork, no panel space needed." Keith Connes, PLANE & PILOT January 1992.
"The Airsport PRO is well-made, well thought-out, logical, and it works as advertised." Andrew B. Douglas, THE AVIATION CONSUMER, September 1991.
The September 1992 issue of
AVIONICS REVIEW contained a comparison of three altitude alerters:
Icarus AltAlert II, Morrow Alti-Trak, and Airsport PRO.
"Operationally, the Airsport PRO is the easiest of the three to use.....The
Airsport PRO is the only one that has a demonstration mode.....The Airsport PRO
is a handy gadget for keeping you straight with the Feds, because it sees what
they do."
