CDI Indicator 7.5in Trivet Hot Pad Coaster

On an instrument approach, the CDI is everything. Two needles, one job: keep them centered. The localizer puts you on the extended centerline of the runway, the glideslope puts you on the correct descent path, and the CDI tells you exactly how well you’re doing both. Stray from center and the workload climbs fast.

This 7.5″ laser-engraved cork trivet reproduces the classic CDI in crisp detail — the compass rose, course deviation needle, glideslope scale, and NAV and GS flags all faithfully rendered. The flags are up, but we’ll call that an artistic choice. Built from high-density natural oak bark cork, it’s heat-resistant, non-slip, and absorbent, protecting your surfaces from hot pans and cold glasses alike. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

For the pilot’s kitchen, the hangar break room, or anyone who still feels a little satisfaction when working to center the needles on final.
