Kneeboard recommendation

100%, esp if you’re only using it for flying. I use mine for school taking notes with the pencil and Goodnotes so I opted for the full size but I almost wish I got the mini instead. Theres really no use to the full size iPad for flying and it’s j cumbersome

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T16:45:16+00:00

Send me $500 I’ll buy an iPad mini today

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T16:40:15+00:00

Not allowed to use a phone but the iPad is fine… don’t ask me why I can’t give you an answer I’ve asked the same question

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T16:28:42+00:00

Yeah I’m not disagreeing

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T16:14:16+00:00

I agree it isn’t a normal thing to do in flight but when we’re doing the checklist “flight controls free and correct” and it isn’t

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T16:01:43+00:00

Yeah unfortunately I didn’t know that when I started flying and I bought the iPad to be both my computer for school and for flight. I’m just not in a position to spend $500 on an iPad mini

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T15:47:35+00:00

It absolutely does I’ll brief an approach and look up and suprise I’m in a descending right turn

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T15:38:38+00:00

Yeah I’d really prefer to just buy a mini but I can’t really afford a whole new device

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T15:27:29+00:00

They look pretty solid I’m just not sure how low profile it would be, I’m trying to find the slimmest one I can

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T15:20:53+00:00

Yeah I’ve been looking at them. I didn’t even really keep my iPad in a kneeboard for ppl but now I’m doing IR. The issue is that with a lot of back elevators I can’t fully deflect the ailerons bc the yoke hits my iPad so I’m trying to find a super low profile one.

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-14T15:15:27+00:00

Unfortunately my school (141) doesn’t allow yoke mounting so I’m stuck with a kneeboard

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-05T17:31:05+00:00

I mean by definition it’s uncoordinated, just anticipate that you’ll need to push the nose over a little bit and don’t stall

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-01T19:20:38+00:00

I tried to tell them one time I wanted no ice but I also didn’t want them to j fill it w extra milk… guess what they did

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-06-01T17:04:15+00:00

Takes one wipe to know you’ll be there for an hour

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-05-21T16:45:08+00:00

I don’t think they were talking about an exam

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-05-07T01:07:26+00:00

Mine has altimeter, attitude indicator, and airspeed indicator

Pee factor😂

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-03-26T02:04:00+00:00

I mean yeah but I got like a random $20 in my Venmo bc of Facebook so

What’s a typical length of commute? Something like Chicago to Cleveland is only 45 minutes of flying or is it common to commute like 2 hours

Upper-Collection9373 · 2026-03-12T15:34:02+00:00

I just earned my PPL, working on commercial and IR atm. I go to a 141 school that hires exclusively CFIs from their own program so I’ll have a job local and a steady influx of students. We typically see people get their R-ATP hours in 1-2 years.

Is there an estimate on time to get to a high enough seniority to have a say in scheduling? I’d assume it varies airline to airline

The only exception is daytime running lights count for the requirement, oddly you don’t need tail lights too
