March’s Aviation Picks From FLYING Magazine

Here is a collection of editor-recommended aviation products and services that are worth a closer look. From practical tools to thoughtful solutions,  this is what caught our eye in the March Issue 968 of the FLYING print edition.

This compact light from Sporty’s Pilot Shop has a green beam that can be adjusted for intensity. It’s powered by a rechargeable battery and can be customized for best fit. 

A pilot should always be prepared in case of an off-airport landing in the wild. This knife from Flight Outfitters features a fire starter, LED light, window breaker, and seat belt cutter. 

This satellite-based messenger can access downloadable maps and U.S. NOAA weather charts. It can also send an interactive SOS message with your GPS coordinates to an emergency response center. 

This lightweight adapter mounts to a pilot headset, allowing a flexible boom-style cannula to swing into place when oxygen is needed. It improves comfort without interfering with fit.

This online ground school enables you to study at your own pace. Presentations are usually less than 10 minutes, and a feature allows CFIs to track their clients’ progress.
