msrp $499 U.S.

If my information is correct, that particular unit would be dandy in
a
glider, but you won't be able to hear it in a typical light plane. It has
that tiny speaker and no way to connect to your headset or audio panel.
To be
of any use, you would have to discipline yourself to include it in your
visual
scan.



We have one in our Arrow, and I'd say it works as advertised. We just put
it on the glareshield, and it stays put in light turbulence. I wear an
older Bose headset, and I can just hear the audio alerts. The biggest
problem is that its high intensity LED display is unreadable in direct
sunlight. I fashioned a cardboard shade for it that helps.
