Is the iPad Mini good for pilots?
Pad Mini is great for the small cockpit while training to fly. A few of my fellow students had the normal iPad and said it was a little big for comfort in the cockpit. You can also use the iPad with the iPad pen to take notes which is fantastic. Description. The ASA iPad mini Kneeboard allows access to the iPad mini while flying, and device protection when outside the cockpit. Made of eco-friendly, top-quality microfiber leather, this lightweight kneeboard includes a wide hook-and-loop adjustable strap.
Why do pilots like iPad mini?
No longer would pilots carry around a heavy flight bag. It would be replaced by the much lighter, more compact tablet. When used in conjunction with a specially designed strap, this small size allows them to be used in place of kneeboards. Flight planning is also made easier by the iPad. Pilots rely on a kneeboard to keep important tools and information at their fingertips. A pilot kneeboard is exactly what it sounds like – a small clipboard strapped to a pilot’s thigh right by the knee.The FlyBoys Classic Kneeboard has been the kneeboard of choice for military aviators for decades. It is extremely versatile and durable enough to offer years of use in the toughest environments.
