Frequently Asked Questions
Which iPad Mini models fit this ASA kneeboard?
The ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard is designed to fit all iPad Mini models, including the latest generations. Flexible corner clips and a microfiber interior hold the tablet securely in the cockpit.
What material is the ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard made from?
It is constructed from eco-friendly microfiber leather on the exterior with a soft microfiber interior lining. The interior helps protect your screen from scratches, while the durable outer shell stands up to regular cockpit use and travel in your flight bag. The result is a premium feel built for daily aviation duty.
How does the kneeboard secure the iPad Mini during turbulence?
Flexible corner clips grip the iPad Mini at each corner and keep it stable whether the kneeboard is open or closed, even during abrupt altitude changes and turbulence. A wide adjustable hook and loop strap holds the kneeboard firmly against your leg so the device stays put throughout the flight.
How does the leg strap attach and adjust?
The ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard uses a wide adjustable hook and loop strap, often called a Velcro style strap, that wraps around your thigh. The strap adjusts to fit a range of leg sizes and holds the kneeboard steady, keeping your iPad Mini and notes stable from taxi through landing on every flight.
Can I use the iPad Mini in both portrait and landscape orientation?
Yes. Strategically placed cutouts allow access to the device buttons and ports, letting you switch between portrait and landscape orientations while the iPad Mini stays secured by the corner clips. This flexibility helps when viewing approach plates in portrait or moving maps and charts in landscape during flight.
Does the iPad Mini rotate inside this ASA kneeboard?
The ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard secures the device with flexible corner clips rather than a rotating mount. You can position and view the iPad Mini in portrait or landscape, but it is not a friction rotating cradle. If you need a free spinning mount, check out our kneeboard collection for more options.
Does the ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard let you take handwritten notes?
Yes. An integrated clipboard surface lets you jot down clearances, weather updates, and frequencies on paper. This supports both your digital workflow and a traditional paper backup, making it useful for student pilots and working aviators who want one organized place for charts, checklists, and quick notes in the cockpit.
Where can I store a pen or stylus on this kneeboard?
The kneeboard includes elastic loops that hold a pencil, pen, or stylus so your writing tools stay within easy reach during flight. This keeps your clearances and notes ready to record without fumbling through your flight bag, helping you stay organized and heads up while managing tasks in the cockpit.
Which side does this ASA kneeboard open from?
This is a portfolio style kneeboard, with the iPad Mini held on the interior and a writing surface alongside it. The binding orientation is fixed by the design, so pilots who strongly prefer a particular opening side should review the product images before ordering this model.
Will the ASA iPad Mini Kneeboard fit in my flight bag?
Yes. The kneeboard has a compact, lightweight profile that slips easily into most flight bags between flights. It provides device protection when the iPad Mini is stored outside the cockpit, then opens quickly for hands free chart access once you are seated.
