Frequently Asked Questions
What iPads and tablets fit the Battleboard Tech Edition V2 kneeboard?
It comes in two sizes. The small version is built for compact devices like the iPad mini, while the large version accommodates bigger tablets including the iPad Pro 11 inch, iPad Air, Microsoft Surface Go, and Samsung Galaxy Tab models. Choose the size that matches your device so it seats securely on the writing surface.
Will the kneeboard block my tablet's buttons, cameras, or charging ports?
No. The Tech Edition V2 uses precision-engineered cutouts that leave full access to all device buttons, cameras, and charging ports. You can power up, snap photos, and plug in a charging cable without removing the tablet, so your device stays usable throughout preflight and during the flight.
Can I use it on either leg, and how does it attach?
Yes. The reversible design lets you wear it comfortably on your left or right leg, which is helpful in tight cockpits or with a center stick. It secures with an adjustable elastic strap so you can set a snug fit, and the board closes up to store flat in any flight bag.
How does the tablet stay secure during flight and in turbulence?
The board is shaped with precision cutouts so your device seats firmly on the writing surface, and the adjustable elastic strap holds the kneeboard snugly against your leg. This keeps your tablet positioned and within easy reach through preflight and every phase of flight, and the board closes securely for transport in a flight bag.
Is it comfortable enough for long flights?
It is built for extended wear. A contoured, breathable mesh padded back sits against your leg to reduce fatigue and heat buildup, and the adjustable elastic strap lets you set a snug, secure fit. The reversible layout also lets you switch legs on long cross-country flights to stay comfortable.
What storage does the kneeboard include for charts and accessories?
Organization is a core feature. A built-in document pocket holds charts, approach plates, and flight plans, while elastic loops and mesh pockets keep pens, a flashlight, and your headset within reach. Everything stays secured to the board, so your cockpit essentials are organized and accessible during every phase of flight.
Can I adjust the viewing angle with a kickstand?
Yes. An integrated kickstand offers multiple viewing angles, so you can position your tablet for clear visibility whether reviewing approach plates during preflight or reading electronic flight bag data in the air. The angle adjustment helps reduce glare and neck strain, keeping your screen readable through every phase of the flight.
Can I take handwritten notes, and does an accessory clipboard fit it?
Yes. The board has an abrasion-resistant polycarbonate writing surface for quick notes alongside your tablet. If you want a dedicated paper area for clearances, frequencies, and squawks, Battleboard offers a Clipboard and Accessory Panel that attaches to the Tech Edition kneeboard, so you can run digital charts and paper notes together.
Does the kneeboard work with electronic flight bag apps?
Yes. The Tech Edition V2 holds your iPad or tablet, so it works with any electronic flight bag app you already run on that device. The kneeboard organizes and positions the hardware, and the cutouts keep your screen, buttons, and ports fully accessible, leaving your chosen app usable throughout the flight.
What is the Battleboard Tech Edition V2 made of, and how durable is it?
It is engineered for military-grade durability. The G-hooks are laser-cut from recycled 81mm mortar ammo cans, and the writing surface is abrasion-resistant polycarbonate. Battleboard also uses recycled materials in the build, making it a rugged and more eco-friendly choice than typical pilot gear organizers.
Is this kneeboard a good choice for student pilots?
Yes. It suits student and private pilots because it keeps an iPad or tablet, charts, and writing essentials organized in one place. The reversible fit, kickstand, and document pocket make it easy to stay organized while you build habits, and it works well for both training and personal flying.
