Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best iPad kneeboard for pilots?

The best iPad kneeboard is the one matched to your iPad size and how you fly. Rotating folio kneeboards like the MyGoFlight Folio C suit pilots who switch between portrait and landscape, while dual-device decks like the Flight Outfitters iDeck fit those running an iPad plus paper or a phone.

How do I mount my iPad in the airplane?

Pilots mount an iPad three common ways: a leg-strap kneeboard, a yoke mount that clamps to the control yoke shaft, or a suction-cup mount on the windshield or side window. Yoke and suction mounts place the screen at panel level, while a kneeboard keeps a writing surface within reach.

Should I use a yoke mount or a suction cup mount for my iPad?

Choose a yoke mount in your own aircraft for a steady, panel-level view that keeps charts in your scan. Choose a suction-cup windshield mount if you rent, since it installs and removes without tools and leaves no hardware behind. A kneeboard remains the most portable option of all.

Do anti-glare screen protectors help with iPad glare in the cockpit?

Yes. An anti-glare screen protector such as MyGoFlight ArmorGlas diffuses the bright reflections that wash out a glossy iPad in direct sunlight, keeping charts and approach plates readable at altitude. It also cuts fingerprints and adds scratch protection for a tablet that lives in the cockpit.

What accessories do I need to use an iPad as an EFB?

A practical EFB setup needs a way to secure the iPad, such as a kneeboard or mount, an anti-glare screen protector for sunlight readability, and a power source like an aircraft USB charger or battery bank. Connecting a GPS or ADS-B source then lets the app show your location and current weather.

Can a kneeboard work with my iPad in a case?

Sometimes. Universal leg straps and open decks usually accept a cased iPad, but fitted folio kneeboards are sized to the bare device or a slim case and may not seat an armored or cooling case. Check the product's stated model and case fit, and click any product for compatibility details.
