FlyBoys Classic Kneeboard for Pilots – Leg Strap, Flexible Clipboard, Eyelet Strip – General Aviation & EFB Compatible – Black

This is the last kneeboard I think I'll ever need. Finally. As a Private Pilot still working my way through IFR and hopefully other training I was searching for a good kneeboard to help organize my cockpit. I use the iPad Mini for my approach plates and weather, of course, but I prefer to write down ATC instructions and ATIS info on paper. I was also looking for multiple solutions for places to store a pen and a few custom checklists I created. I had tried storing the checklists in a pocket to the side and clipping the pen to the ASA Kneeboard I've been using since my PPL training. Unfortunately, neither solution was ideal. The pen, especially, would go missing whenever I really needed it. (I'm so bad with pens that I keep them squirreled around the cabin) I tried a visor organizer, but the visor in my 172 is anchored differently than a typical car visor. I tried a seat belt organizer with the same results. Thankfully, this kneeboard has it all. It has a nice clipboard, narrower but still sufficient to hold the Amazonbasics 8/5.5 note paper I use. It has several pen loops (YAY!) to hold my pens and styluses. And it has a wonderful series of binder loops, though it does not come with clips. (I already had some, so this wasn't an issue.) I was able to cut down some page protectors to fit my small check lists so that when I need them I can view them but otherwise they hang to the left side of my leg, out of the way. The velcro is rock solid and has a great grip and the overall fit and finish is great. It's really a fantastic kneeboard, despite the fact that it's more than double the price of ASA's products. (Having spent thirty dollars on all of those other unsatisfying pen and document storage items, I wish I'd found this first!)

I like this kneeboard. It has a clipboard , three pen slots, a small pocket, and on the left side it is setup so you can attach sleeves, templates, etc by using binder rings or zip-ties. Really good design, comfortable. This is great for pilots (original design base); also great for an amateur radio operator's emergency bag; or great for anyone who may be working in close quarters or in an environment that would limit desk space. Note to manufacturer: Add an attachment point for a drop leg rig for military folks who could use a kneeboard but who also may have to dismount in a hurry. Just a thought to expand on your great design.

Built very well. My only issue is the velcro on the inside seems to be without purpose and in a very unfortunate spot. Solid build quality though. Sits flat on top of the leg and comfortable.

Currently, I have a total of 3 hours of flight time with this board, but overall I'm impressed. The elastic seems of a good quality, velcro holds very well. I ordered a 6"x9" steno pad to go use with it and the book is slight longer than the board. I flip it so the loose bottom of the pages are under the clip and the spiral binding is at the bottom so I don't have to worry about pages fraying or flying around at the bottom. Only complaint is I wish the pocket on the side was a little wider so I could put my phone in it (Galaxy S10). Overall great board. I'll update later when I have more flight time with it.

GOOD

I find this very useful to keep maps or driving instruction handy while in the car. It is adjustable so it is comfortable and has a clip to hold paperwork, slots for pens, and a pocket for whatever else I think I'll need. Keeping a note pad close by allows me to make a quick note without having to look away from the driving task for something to write on. Small enough not to interfere with driving, yet holds what I need.

Solid knee board. Has a few more features than I need (lots of pen slots, Velcro pocket), but works just fine. One criticism is that it is a bit thick when folded up in my flight bag and takes up a good chunk of space. No biggie. Want the flexibility of having a knee board for paper charts and notes while also having the ability to strap on your iPad Pro? This kneeboard can do that, although it wasn’t quite designed to do it. I bought the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle PRO Series iPad Pro 10.5” case, which has a folding stand. You can thread the clear+Velcro strap of this knee board through the iPad case’s folding stand and hold it in place right on your knee. You’re limited to a landscape orientation, but I’m perfectly comfortable with accepting that for the flexibility of having a dual purpose knee board.

I have used this for a few months now and it is perfect for keeping me organized while flying. Plenty of pockets and slots for pens and anything else I need out of the way but accessible - I typically just attach the clear strap to the back out of the way (I don’t think it’s necessary. When I’m done flying it folds up nicely and Velcro's together neatly and doesn’t take a lot of space in my flight bag. Would recommend
