Great Gift
- By Kathryn from Valatie NY USA on Monday, January 31, 2011
- Review: We gave this as a Christmas gift to my son who is in flight school at Ft. Rucker. He was excited and said it will be perfect. He recently learned he will be flying the Kiowa and is excited to put it to use. He liked that it had slots for the extras he will need in the air, such as maps, etc.

Very versatile
- By Philip from Lexington Park MD USA on Monday, August 08, 2011
- Pros: Use it several ways
- Cons:
- Review: This is just what I needed. You can take out the clip board and use it separately to just hold a chart for a short cross country flight or leave it in the sleeve with the pockets when doing something more extensive when you need a computer and airport directory.

Good, but maps don't fit well.
- By Dave from Bakersfield CA USA on Friday, December 10, 2010
- Pros: Good quality. Clip & pen holders work great.
- Cons: Right side map pocket isn't wide enough.
- Review: In general I really like this tri-fold kneeboard. The clip is very easy to use and secures papers nicely. The 2 pen holders are great as it leaves a spare if I drop one during flight. It's very easy to get the pen in and out of the holder quickly. My only complaint is that the right side isn't really big enough for standard maps, as it needs to be about 1/4-3/8" wider.

Good
- By Steve from Applegate OR USA on Tuesday, May 20, 2014
- Pros: Nice clip-board and info. imprinted on it
- Cons: Won't fit a folded sectional
- Review: Love the metal clip-board with the pertinent VFR information and light gun signals. However, the pouch is too small to hold a folded sectional. Still a 4 star rating.

can be improve
- By RICARDO from Miami FL USA on Thursday, May 02, 2013
- Pros: nice size without been too much
- Cons: the clip of the board is very little, wont close if you use all pockets
- Review: Works well, can be improved if the clip of the board, it is too little (the clip), and if you fill all the pockets that have available with something that you will need in your routine flights, it probably doesn't close well. Have the perfect size for the charts, the velcro strap works well, it's a good product

- By Bob Brokaw from Tucson, AZ on Wednesday, January 10, 2007
- Pros: The extra items you need can be placed in the side pockets for fast access.
- Cons: You need to carry a huge clip to attach the approach plate book to the kneeboard or tear the page out of the book as most of the aviators I knew did sometiimes placing them in plastic. Great if you don't lose them or fly to many different locations.
- Review: I was an Army Aviator for 18 years and used the standard issue military kneeboard. It was all we had for VFR or IFR. All you could put on it was the VFR or IFR flight planning form until you had to grab an approach plate from "somewhere" usually on the floor between the seats and slap that on top of the flight planning form. If it was a large aircraft you might have room for your Jeppsen manual case close by but not in a small fixed wing or helicopter. I never had enough room on the kneeboard. In a large aircraft I made my own flight desk (non-folding) out of a legal size clipboard using an extra clip. That won't always work well in a small four seat aircraft so this product was just what I was looking for. It will keep a sectional, E6B, IFR plotter, small paper pad etc right there close by on your leg. You always have the option of pulling the metal clipboard out and sliding it under the clip of a regular legal size clipboard giving you space for a pad of paper or the IFR appraoch plate book on the other end of the large clipboard. You then all all your other stuff in the nylon package for easy access.

Exactly what I expected to see
good kneeboard if you need one big enough to fit a chart
- By MRC01 from WA State on Monday, August 20, 2007
- Pros: high quality, fits a chart & full size E-6B
- Cons: a bit large
- Review:
This kneeboard is a bit on the large side, but it fits charts and full size E-6B computers - if it were any bigger, it wouldn't.
Its clipboard has a knee strap slot and can be used alone instead of the full kneeboard. It comes with an additional loose knee strap for this purpose. - Was this review helpful to you? Yes No 0 Other people found this review helpful.

Pretty Good
- By A Customer from Tucson AZ USA on Wednesday, May 06, 2009
- Review: Good product, but a little too long, and could hold charts a bit better, the clear chart product is a very very tight fit, and when you close the kneeboard the edges of the chart fold with it. Could also use some ring holes, so you can attach your checklists with ring clips. Overall good though.

Too Small for Enroute Charts
- By Learning in Boulder from Boulder, CO on Saturday, May 22, 2010
- Pros: Fits well
- Cons: Won't fit a standard Sectional or WAC chart
- Review: I purchased this at the local FBO as I was starting my cross country flights. It was frustrating that I couldn't fit the Sectional chart into the right or left side pockets, only behind the clipboard or under the clip. The pockets are 1/4" too short to let a chart slip in. A couple of weeks later I purchased a Jeppesen VFR chart to see how it compared to the standard FAA sectionals. I figured out that Jeppesen sizes theirs slightly smaller than the FAA versions, and consequently it fits like a glove into the Jeppesen kneeboard. Could this be a marketing ploy?

Overall Nice
- By Donald from Dickinson ND USA on Monday, October 25, 2010
- Pros: Enclosure great for holding information while walking to and from the air plane.
- Cons: Craftsmanship could be a little better
- Review: Works great. Only problem was stiching has already started to come undone arround velcro. Easy fix, but since it started within it's first week I am a little unhappy with it. Pencil holder is a little small, and it doesn't fit my pencil. Use a thin mechanical without any ergonomic finger cushion and it will be fine. I wish the metal board had a pencil holder for when you use it without the pouch arround it.

Newer isn't always better...
- By A Customer from Lees Summit MO USA on Monday, January 11, 2010
- Pros: Well made
- Cons: Missing important feature that was present in earlier models
- Review: The knee board is still well made, but an important feature that was present in earlier models has been eliminated. I felt that it was important enough to modify the new one before giving it away as a gift. The missing feature is a nylon web band that ran down the left spine of the knee board. It allowed for placement of rings that could then hold calculators, plastic card inserts, and other items. I would strongly recommend to the manufacturer that they return to including this in the construction of the item.

Functional, but not perfect
- By Val from California on Sunday, May 23, 2010
- Pros: Frequently used items are in one place without going to the flight bag
- Cons: paper documents do not stay under the clip very well
- Review: I have used this product of almost three years. It has provided for many of my expected kneeboard needs satisfactorily. However, the metal clip is not strong enough to keep all reference items in place. (ie, airport kneeboard templates, navigational logs, approach plates, etc) Even when just one document is is under the clip, if the document is brushed by your forearm several times, it works it way out.

Not big enough to hold a sectional
- By A Customer from Washington, DC on Tuesday, August 25, 2009
- Review: Holds a full-size E6B, pens, pencils, and the like, and the clipboard is very useful. However, the clear plastic sleeve is too small to actually hold a VFR sectional. It will hold a terminal area chart, which is about an inch shorter than the sectional.

- By Donald from Alvin, TX on Friday, December 03, 2010
- Review: Pockets are nice. Had it less than a week before the velcro started comming un-stitched. For the price I would expect better quality. The clip on the board could be a little more stiff and have a pencil holder when using without pockets. I like the fact that it can be used with or without the pockets.
