I do not belive that a hand held vario will work in the cockpit of an
aircraft. Air pressures from vents etc would drive it crazy.

I would think that you would need to have a "sealed" unit and static
port for it to work correctly.

A few of us low time club renters are considering buying audio variometers

One unit we're looking at is from Blue Sky Avionics, the M12 Cricket

There's also a fancier M19.

Does anyone have experience with these? Do they make sense to use?
Thanks.
