 Reduce Workload and Fly Safer
Remembering heading and altitude instructions from ATC has become a lot simpler with a P2 SKYBuddy Heading and Altitude reminder. No more scratch pads, no more setting altitudes in your ADF head and no fumbling for a pen and paper. Whether you fly VFR or IFR, this portable, compact device does it all for you.
Simply plug the SKYBuddy into a power source (either 12 or 24 volts), and you are up and running. The unit can either be flush mounted with Velcro (included) or an optional dash mounting bracket can be ordered. Easy-to-read LED displays are used to insure clear viewing in both daylight and nighttime conditions. The illumination has five selectable levels to suite your individual needs and is quickly changed by pushing the "DM" button.
Operation:
Operation is simple as twisting a knob. By turning either knob clockwise, the numbers increase. Turning either knob counter-clockwise, the numbers decrease. When a knob is pushed in momentarily, the pilot then has the ability to change the resolution (see specifications) to suite the situation. For example, when being vectored, you will use the HEADING window in 5-degree increments and when flying an airway or shooting an approach, the 1 degree incriments would be more appropriate.
The same operation applies in the ALTITUDE reminder window. While enroute, set your cruise altitude with the appropriate resolution of 100' or 1000' (say 4500' VFR or 5000' IFR). When on an approach, the pilot could set the MDA, say 1120', or field elevation rounded to the nearest 10 feet.
