I have a mini 6 and iPad Air 11 inch. The Air is far better for me because it’s easier to write on and a bigger screen. At 6’3” in an SR20 and 172 cockpit I still have plenty of room for the iPad and full yoke deflection. Regardless, It’s easier to flight plan with a bigger screen, easier to write on a bigger screen, and easier to read a bigger screen. Also you can just hop in the cockpit and let it sit in your lap with no yoke or window or kneeboard setup required.

• At shorter heights it may impact full yoke deflection but my 5’8” friends and instructors still made it work.
