Frequently Asked Questions
Which tablets fit the MyGoFlight Skyfolio kneeboard?
The Skyfolio fits most tablets with 9 to 11 inch screens. Its spring-loaded clips adjust to securely grip devices including the Apple iPad through 10.9 inch, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro 11 inch. If your tablet is smaller or larger than that range, this particular Skyfolio is not the right size for it.
Does a 12.9 inch iPad Pro fit the Skyfolio?
No. This Skyfolio is built for tablets with 9 to 11 inch screens, including the iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro 11 inch. A 12.9 inch iPad Pro is larger than this cradle is designed to hold, so pilots flying a 12.9 inch tablet should choose a kneeboard sized for a bigger device instead.
What is the difference between the Skyfolio and the Skyfolio Mini?
This Skyfolio is sized for full-size tablets with 9 to 11 inch screens, such as the standard iPad, iPad Air, and iPad Pro 11 inch. The Skyfolio Mini is built for smaller 7 to 9 inch tablets. Choose this larger Skyfolio if you fly with a full-size iPad rather than a smaller device.
Can I rotate the tablet between portrait and landscape while flying?
Yes. The Skyfolio offers fluid 360 degree screen rotation, so you can switch from a landscape en route chart to a portrait approach plate with a simple one handed motion. This lets you match the ideal orientation to each app or phase of flight, improving your workflow and reducing heads down time in the cockpit.
Does the Skyfolio help reduce sun glare on the screen?
Yes. A built-in tilt pad, also called a leg prop, lets you instantly change the screen angle. By adjusting the tilt you can deflect sun glare and keep your charts, weather, and flight data readable in changing light from engine start to shutdown, which also helps reduce eye strain on a large display.
Does it include a clipboard for paper checklists and clearances?
Yes. The Skyfolio has an integrated magnetic bifold with a rigid clipboard for securing paper charts, checklists, or jotting down clearances. You can position it next to your tablet for simultaneous use, fold it over to protect the screen when the folio is closed, or work with the paper alone, keeping digital and paper information organized together.
Does the iPad need its own case to use the Skyfolio?
No separate case is required. The Skyfolio holds the tablet directly in its spring-loaded clips, which grip the device securely while leaving ports and buttons open. When the magnetic bifold is folded over the screen it also protects the display, so the Skyfolio works as both a kneeboard and a cover for your bare tablet.
Are the tablet ports and buttons accessible while it is mounted?
Yes. The Skyfolio uses spring-loaded clips that hold most 9 to 11 inch tablets securely while leaving all ports and buttons fully accessible. That means you can keep charging, adjust volume, and reach controls without removing the device, which is helpful on longer flights when you want to top up the battery in flight.
How does the Skyfolio attach to your leg?
The Skyfolio is worn on the thigh like a traditional kneeboard so it stays within easy reach through taxi, takeoff, and turbulence. Once it is in place it keeps your tablet and clipboard right where you need them, then the same folio lifts off to use on a table with the built-in kickstand when you are on the ground.
Can the Skyfolio be used outside the cockpit?
Yes. An integrated kickstand lets the Skyfolio stand on any flat surface for hands free use. That makes it useful for pre-flight planning, briefings, post-flight debriefs, or as a stand for entertainment on the go, so the kneeboard supports your full flight day rather than only the time in the seat.
Does the Skyfolio work with ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, and other EFB apps?
Yes. The Skyfolio is a passive mount with no electronics of its own, so it works with any app your tablet runs, including ForeFlight, Garmin Pilot, and other electronic flight bag software. It simply holds and positions your iPad, leaving your chosen app and the tablet itself fully in control of the display.
What are the part number, UPC, dimensions, and weight of the Skyfolio?
This MyGoFlight Skyfolio carries part number KNE-2010 and UPC 670541857038. It measures about 10.25 inches by 7.5 inches by 1 inch and weighs roughly 1 pound 14 ounces. That compact folded footprint stays manageable in a flight bag while the sturdy build supports a full-size iPad on your leg or on a table.
