Testimonials

See what FX8 and FX10 users have to say…

   
 

“As a long time SOLIDFX customer I have always been very happy with the company and their products. I owned and used an FX10 for years and just recently upgraded to the FX8 to use when flying a Beech Baron, and a Citation jet. I flew into the Mansfield airport to visit them for lunch and I was able to pick up my new FX8 all charged and loaded, ready to go. Great people, great service.” -Mike, Connecticut, US

“The SOLIDFX staff is a great team. Being an FX8 user for some time I have never had any reservations about calling them with any questions. Their FX8 unit has been a great asset for me while flying a variety of aircraft ranging in size up to a Cessna Citation and a Westwind II. In addition to being easy to update and easy to use, the unit is nice and compact, perfect for the cockpit. I recommend the FX8 to anyone looking for a great source of electronic Jepp charts with a great supporting cast.” -Jay, Connecticut, US

“The FX8 is simple, reliable and practical. Since incorporating the FX8 into my flying, both personal and professional, I have been very pleased with its performance and simplicity. The FXview program is very user-friendly and makes my job an instrument flight instructor much easier. The FX8 allows me to teach better by making things more efficient. I highly recommend the FX8 to any instrument pilot or instructor looking to decrease their workload and improve safety in the cockpit.” -Adam, Massachusetts, US

“Our airline purchased FX8 units and have been using them on an evaluation basis for some time. We have found the units to be easy to use in flight, and a perfect fit for our operation. Recently, we received approval from the German Federal Office of Civil Aviation (Luftfahrt-Bundesamt, LBA) to operate with a paperless cockpit thanks to the FX8 system. SOLIDFX has developed a great product and also has an outstanding support team willing to help at a moment’s notice.” -Daniel, Germany

“At last a practical solution to eliminate eleven Jeppesen binders in the cockpit, my SolidFX is practical, reliable and simple to use.” -Charles, California, US

“The FX8 is a great way to stay organized in the cockpit, especially while giving instrument instruction. Everything you need is in one, very easy to use unit! Having the ability to take notes on a chart and then hide them, so they don’t get in the way for the rest of the flight, and use those notes later in the post-flight briefing is a no-brainer. The FX8 has definitely enhanced my IFR instructing.” -Sean, Massachusetts, US

“I purchased the SOLIDFX FX10 about a year ago and have been using it on-board the PC12 we fly since then. It gives great reassurance to know that all the approach plates are there at your fingertips should they be needed and eliminates the need to carry vast volumes of plates if your area of operation is wide as ours is. It is easily read and can be zoomed to any area of the chart for finer detail. Very useful if the eyesight isn’t what it was. The unit is well made and simple to use. We did have one problem in that the battery exhausted very quickly even when the unit was turned off. I contacted the support team who were more than helpful and sent a replacement without a quibble. It’s nice in this day and age to deal with a company that cares about its customers. Needless to say the replacement unit has performed flawlessly since its arrival in the UK. It was virtually overnighted at the company’s expense and we weren’t ever left without a unit.” -William, United Kingdom

“SOLIDFX…Excellent, Dependability…Excellent, Customer Service…Exceptional, Expectations…Exceeded, Need I say More?” -Richard, Washington, US

"I am a repeat customer of SOLIDFX many times over. We have incorporated the FX8’s into our jet charter operation and all of the pilots find them very easy to use while flying. Recently we purchased a new jet and the first thing we did, before going over to pick up the new aircraft from Cessna, was order two new FX8’s." -John, Switzerland

“We fly a Comanche which takes us to Texas two or three times a year. Some years we include a stop in Kansas and a trip down the coast to Fla. Then of course a couple of trips to New Hampshire and Vermont seem to get squeezed in sometimes. The FX8 has been a big help to us reducing the weight and size of our charts. I have to say that not carrying 20 pounds of Jepp binders is a big deal. At our airport we have quite a long walk thru the security doors to the hanger and everything gets carried. The FX8 is a big weight saver and space saver. Another thing I like a lot is the daylight readability. The readability in direct sun with little glare is great. Night readability is also great without glare. Additionally after 30 years flying, I have developed a dislike for paper chart updates. Mistakes and time are the two big problems. My FX8 cuts that to a few minutes.” -Wayne, New York, US

“The folks at SOLIDFX have been extremely helpful. I recommend SOLIDFX products to anyone looking for a great cockpit addition. With all of the capabilities and the intuitive interface the units are great for use in flight. The team supporting the product is also top notch. A quick response even to the smallest support inquiry is S.O.P. (Standard Operating Procedure) for them. That reassurance is of great value for those of us using SOLIDFX units as our source for Jeppesen charts.” -Lon, Texas, US

“I have used (the FX8) in real world conditions shooting a number of instrument approaches and each and every time I have been very pleased with the performance of the unit. While I own an Apple iPad, and I use the iPad for a number of my aviation tasks, it does not even come close in real-world conditions in the ability to read the plates without any glare. This unit comes as close as I've ever seen to replicating paper plates without the paper. I also want be very complimentary of the support I received from the SOLIDFX customer support. I had a couple of challenges initially setting up my Jeppesen account; they were extremely helpful in both setting up the account and providing support on the setup of the unit. Since that time, I have found the unit very easy to update and keep current.” -Jay, Virginia, US

 “As a repeat customer of SOLIDFX I have been very happy with both my FX10 and now my new FX8. I’m flying my Citation Jet without a copilot and I really appreciate the design, speed, functionality and the fantastic screen of both products. They deliver great in flight organization and presentation of the Jeppesen instrument charts.” -Hellmut, Switzerland
