REVIEWS

Tom Z.
SEL, SES, MEL, Comm/Inst, A&P, CFIA, 2000+ hours, former MAF pilot, LATAM

“The MicroTower is a ‘must have’ if operating a flight school or an active, un-controlled field. I only WISH I'd had these at the many remote strips I have operated out of in third world countries."

Brian
Single Engine Recreational Pilot 70 hours

"As a beginning pilot who learned to fly at a Microtower airport, I have a hard time understanding how it's not required at other airports.  Radioing ahead in the hopes that someone is around to give an update on conditions seems antiquated and makes me uncomfortable."

Mike A.
Former student pilot at VKX, PPL, 170 hours

“The MicroTower with the three clicks for weather and four clicks for radio check, took one less item off the stress meter to get into the air. Excellent system.”

Alex
 Private Pilot

"MicroTower has been a great asset to our airfield which is located in very congested air space. It is easy to operate and extremely accurate in providing current weather conditions. I highly recommend this system to anyone considering it over the alternatives."
