Frequently Asked Questions

How do I choose the right pilot kneeboard?

Choose a pilot kneeboard based on whether you fly with paper, a tablet, or both, then match it to your device size and your preferred leg and seat. Paper pilots want a clipboard or tri-fold, tablet pilots want a device-specific or rotating mount sized to their iPad, and pilots who carry both should pick a tri-fold or dual-device kneeboard.

Can I use an iPad or tablet with a kneeboard?

Yes. Many kneeboards are built specifically to hold an iPad or tablet, including rotating mounts and leather folios sized for everything from a 7" mini to the iPad Pro 12.9, and they work with aviation apps like ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot.

Are there kneeboards for left-handed pilots?

Yes. Reversible and ambidextrous kneeboards adapt to either leg, so left-handed pilots and pilots in the right seat can position the writing surface and straps where they need them.

What features should I look for in a pilot kneeboard?

Look for durable construction, a secure adjustable leg strap, the correct device or paper fit, and enough storage for your charts, plates, and a pen. Rotation and a writing surface are useful additions for tablet-based EFB setups.

Do digital kneeboards need a specific app?

No. A digital kneeboard is simply a mount for your tablet and does not require any particular app, though it works best with aviation EFB apps such as ForeFlight or Garmin Pilot.
