The A1-MC organizer was designed for use in general aviation aircraft. The A1-MC is a tri-fold organizer with a reduced size "mini-cover" on the left side that supports the contents of a ring binder, but doesn't get in the way. The A1-MC can also be used as a simple clipboard for preflight checks when closed. The A1-MC is 9" long by 8" wide, and has a width, when fully open of around 16".

Although the 7-ring binder is ideal for pre-punched Jeppesen products, the chart pockets, writing pad/clip areas and elastic cord areas of the ORGA-KNEE-ZER were designed to accommodate both Jeppesen and NOS chart types, IFR or VFR. (The Multi-Board also accommodates Flight Guide).
Suggested Use, VFR or IFR Flight - (Pull & Pre-Fold Charts)
Before flight, Scott Wings suggests you pull the appropriate approach charts or airport diagrams and pre-fold the appropriate enroute charts or sectionals to the desired route, then place them in whatever part of the unit that works best for you. Try using the chart pockets when possible to hold the approach charts (Jepp or individual NOS sheets), so that you need only flip to that page during an approach, rather than the alternative of searching for the proper chart and securing it in a kneeboard or yoke clip at that critical time.
You may want to organize the approach charts alphabetically, and the area charts or sectionals in the order of planned use during flight. You can even use chart tabs to quickly locate the proper chart. During longer flights, the pre-folded enroute charts or sectionals will need to be pulled and unfolded for viewing or perhaps refolded for a different view and reinserted into the appropriate chart pocket, clip or elastic cord area.
Suggested Use for NOS Booklets - (Use Elastic Cords)
NOS booklets are often times the only charts available at many FBO's, so they must be accommodated in some fashion for IFR flight. Unfortunately, bound NOS booklets don't really lend themselves to be easily used during flight, either standalone or when used with most kneeboards, because of their size and book-like qualities. Although the age-old method of using a rubber band to keep an NOS booklet open to the proper page during an approach can certainly still be used to compliment the ORGA-KNEE-ZER models, you might try other "approaches".
The more organized pilots might prefer to pull the likely approaches required for the flight from the NOS booklet and insert them into chart pockets prior to each flight organized as described above.
Alternatively, the elastic cords behind the binder ring contents in the tri-fold models can be used to secure an NOS booklet opened to the required approach. This method can also be used to hold the booklet in place on the outer cover as well, when used as a clipboard.
With all this flexiblity...
you may want to use the ORGA-KNEE-ZER for more than flying.
"I just received my A1-MC kneeboard today and used it during flight. I am a student pilot, and I have been searching for a kneeboard that suits my needs and my future needs, and thanks to you, I have found the best kneeboard I have ever seen. It is built very well with strong materials and will last a long time. I do have a couple suggestionsà Thanks for your ingenious work, and a great product!" (Model A1-MC)

"I've found the A1-MC to be such a help during single pilot IFR. . . especially in the busy airspace here in San Diego and up in LAX's class B. It's the next best thing to a copilot. Thanks for such a great product, and more importantly, for standing behind it!" (Model A1-MC)

Compact, comfortable, room for all I need to fly VFR/IFR." (Model A1-MC)

Sturdy and Comfortable
Even though this kneeboard is a little on the large side, I can still use it quite well even in a Schweizer 300CBi. Plenty of room to hold all your important documents. The formed thigh pad is very comfortable and stays in place well. All you need to complete this kneeboard is a few small addons to fit your personal style, but overall a great addition to any cockpit.
