Frequently Asked Questions
What tablets and iPad Mini generations fit the Skyfolio Mini, and does it hold a full size iPad?
It fits most tablets with 7 inch to 9 inch screens, including the Apple iPad Mini in all generations, the Samsung Galaxy Tab, and other similarly sized devices. The adjustable clips conform to the device for a custom, secure grip. A full size iPad falls outside the 7 to 9 inch range this Mini model is built to hold.
Can you switch between portrait and landscape without removing the tablet?
Yes. The rotating mount lets you pivot the tablet a full 360 degrees with a simple one handed motion, so you can show approach plates in portrait and then switch to landscape for en route charts. You never need to unclip or remove the device when you change orientation, which helps cut heads down time.
Does the mount block any buttons, charging ports, or cameras?
No. The specially designed clips hold your 7 to 9 inch tablet securely while staying clear of the buttons, charging ports, and cameras. That means you can plug in a charger and use the controls while the device stays mounted, so you are not forced to unclip it to keep the tablet powered on a longer flight.
Will the tablet stay secure in turbulence, and can it be removed?
The adjustable clips provide a rock solid, custom grip designed to keep your tablet stable even in turbulence. The clips hold the device rather than bonding to it, so you can take the tablet out when you want to use it elsewhere.

How does the tilt pad reduce glare in a bright cockpit?
The Skyfolio Mini has a built in tilt pad, a simple leg prop that lets you quickly change the screen angle. By repositioning the display you can move it out of direct sunlight, cut reflections, and keep charts and approach plates readable from takeoff to touchdown without holding the tablet by hand.
What is the magnetic clipboard used for, and what notes or paper does it hold?
The detachable magnetic clipboard secures IFR or VFR charts, checklists, memo pads, or loose sheets, so it suits copying clearances and jotting frequencies. Use it side by side with your tablet for a combined digital and paper workspace, pull it off to write, or magnetically attach it to the front cover when the folio is closed.
Does the kneeboard attach to your leg during flight?
Yes. As a kneeboard it is made to rest on your thigh while you fly, keeping your tablet and notes within easy reach and your hands free for the controls. Pilots often choose the leg that sits clear of the yoke or stick. For exact strap and fit details on this model, contact our team and we are glad to confirm.
Can I use the Skyfolio Mini as an everyday tablet case when I am not flying?
Yes. Beyond the cockpit the Skyfolio Mini works as a protective folio for your iPad Mini or 7 to 9 inch tablet. Use the integrated kickstand to prop the tablet up for reading, video, or work at a desk. Its robust construction protects the device wherever you travel, so it doubles as a case off the flight deck.
Can the Skyfolio Mini be used outside the cockpit, and what are its size and weight?
Yes. An integrated kickstand props the tablet up on any flat surface, turning the kneeboard into a stable desktop stand for pre flight planning at the FBO, reviewing weather briefings, or post flight logging. The compact folio measures about 8 by 6 by 1 inches and weighs roughly 1 pound 2 ounces, so it travels easily.
What are the part number and brand for this kneeboard?
This is the MyGoFlight Skyfolio Mini, part number KNE-4015. MyGoFlight designs aviation kneeboards and cases for use inside the cockpit, and the Skyfolio Mini is built for 7 to 9 inch tablets such as the iPad Mini. If you need to match it to a catalog or reorder, the KNE-4015 part number identifies this exact model.
