Frequently Asked Questions
Which iPad or tablet size does the MyGoFlight Folio C fit?
This folio is built for the iPad Mini and holds it in a rotating cradle designed for a tablet in the roughly seven to eight inch size range. Confirm your specific iPad Mini model before ordering to be sure it seats correctly in the cradle.
What materials is the folio made from?
The exterior is genuine leather for a premium, durable finish, and the interior is lined with soft microfiber to help protect your iPad Mini. This professional grade construction is built to withstand daily flight operations while keeping your tablet secure and cushioned in the cockpit during regular everyday use.
How does the rotating cradle work, and does it switch between portrait and landscape?
The cradle rotates so you can switch freely between portrait and landscape, with precision engineered stops every five degrees to lock your iPad Mini at the angle you choose. A built in stand feature positions the tablet at virtually any angle, giving you a steady, optimal view while flight planning or studying.
How is the iPad secured in the cradle?
Your iPad Mini seats into the rotating cradle and is held in place by four corner clips that grip the tablet. Set the magnetic clipboard inside for lap desk use or outside for traditional kneeboard use. Insert the tablet gently into each clip so it sits squarely and stays held during flight.
Can it be used as a kneeboard, a lap desk, and an everyday case?
Yes. The magnetic clipboard system gives you lap desk functionality with the clipboard inside, or traditional kneeboard use with it on the outside. The removable hook and loop, or Velcro, leg strap lets you transition from the cockpit to everyday environments, so the leather folio also works as a protective case beyond flying.
Does the magnetic clipboard hold securely for note taking?
The clipboard is a magnetic metal panel that attaches to the folio and gives you a firm surface for writing clearances, notes, or checklists. Place it on the outside for kneeboard use or inside as a lap desk. Because it is magnetic, you can detach and reposition it to match how you prefer to work.
How does it attach to my leg, and can it rest on a desk?
Two aluminum rails cradle your leg and hold a removable hook and loop strap so the folio sits securely while you fly. Four rubber pads on those rails let the case rest stably on a desk or table, and the built in stand props the tablet up for ground study between flights.
Does it work for both right handed and left handed pilots on either leg?
Yes. The rotating cradle and removable strap let you set up the folio for comfortable access whether you wear it on your right or left leg. Rotate the iPad Mini to portrait or landscape and position the strap to suit your reach, so right handed and left handed pilots can both work in tight cockpit space.
Can it help reduce sun glare in the cockpit?
Yes. Because the cradle rotates with stops every five degrees and the built in stand tilts the tablet to many angles, you can reposition the iPad Mini to cut sun glare and find a comfortable sightline. Adjusting the angle in flight helps keep your moving map and charts readable in bright cockpit lighting conditions.
Will my iPad Mini fit if it already has a case on it?
The folio is designed to hold the iPad Mini directly in its cradle clips for the most secure fit, so removing a bulky case is recommended. Some very thin cases may still let the tablet seat in the clips, but a snug, case free fit gives the best hold. Confirm clearance before relying on it in flight.
Is there a warranty on the MyGoFlight Folio C?
MyGoFlight products are backed against defects in materials and workmanship. If a corner clip or other component is damaged or defective, reach out to MyGoFlight support with your order details to arrange a repair or replacement.
Who is this kneeboard designed for, and is it stable in turbulence?
It suits commercial pilots managing complex flight plans, flight instructors demonstrating procedures, and private owners who want a premium cockpit tool. The aluminum rails, leg strap, and clip held cradle keep the iPad Mini secure and steady so you can read charts and write notes confidently, even when the air gets bumpy.
