SIMPLE AND PERFECT

  • By Joe from New York NY USA on Thursday, March 03, 2016
  • Review: As a low time student pilot, I did not want to invest in a tri-fold kneeboard. I am just looking for something inexpensive to hold my checklist, map and ATIS sheets. This board fits the bill. No bells and whistles. It is exactly what I was looking for.

Does exactly what it's meant to do

  • By Paul from Collinsville IL USA on Monday, May 23, 2016
  • Pros: Comfortable and light
  • Cons: Strap is a little short, would have liked a plastic buckle.
  • Review: I bought it to hold documents to a hard surface, strapped to my leg. This board does exactly that, and has a handy reference sheet on the face of it.

    The strap can be switched to move the pen holder, which was handy.

Simple and useful

  • By A Customer from Mount Juliet TN USA on Friday, October 10, 2014
  • Pros: Simple and small. Doesn't interfere with cockpit controls or movement of legs.
  • Cons:
  • Review: For the cost its a great and simple tool to have. I'm a student pilot and having this thing makes a wold of difference in writing down notes form ATC, ATIS, whatever. Its handy in keeping airport diagrams, small charts, and checklists right at your lap. After my first lesson it was very clear I needed something to write on and keep papers from falling/blowing around the cockpit and keep a pen near by, now its priceless. Also has handy info printed on it.

    Once I start cross-country I imagine i'd want something that folds open for charts but for learning maneuvers and flying in and out of class C airspace its perfect.

I recommend it to other flyers

  • By A Customer from Alexandria VA USA on Monday, January 25, 2016
  • Pros: Stays tight on your thigh and you can use on either leg.
  • Cons: could use morte places to hold pencils, pens, etc. If you drop one, you would have another
  • Review: I had no kneeboard before, so this one greatly satisfied my need to keep charts and papers organized and ready for use.
    All the data on the base board, common use info, morse code phonetic alphabet, radio frequencies, etc are very helpful. NOTE: this is from a report from my 17 yr old grandson who is getting ready to get his license.

Great Kneeboard!

  • By Chris from Van Nuys CA USA on Tuesday, August 07, 2012

Just What I Needed

  • By Caitlin from New York, NY USA on Saturday, October 12, 2013
  • Pros: Light, easy to put in bag
  • Cons: Cold on skin
  • Review: Light weight, easy to fit in my flight bag. It fits nicely around my leg, I didn't realize there was a pen holder and haven't tried that yet. The con for me, wearing this with a skirt it can be cold against my skin at first, but warms up after a bit. It stays perfectly in place for me.

  • Cons: Nothing
  • Review: Well you see I bought the board for my cross country routes and I needed a surface to write and to hang on my papers for fuel flow control etc... Also, I bouhgt the board because it had the light signals in case of a radio failure........

    On my last route day I had a radio failure and needed to land using the light signas which of course due to stress I forgot!! But then remembered the board had them and used them to follow instructions from the tower.......THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like it

  • By Robert and his Stinson from Sun City AZ on Monday, August 10, 2020
  • Pros: My profile is simple VFR in severe clear conditions. I like the durability of metal, I like what's printed on it for ready reference, and I like the size.
  • Cons: I removed the leg strap because I like to set set the kneeboard aside during take off, landing, and turbulence. Like most planes I fly with a yoke it interferes with "controls free and correct". This is not a compliant as it is a fact of life and I insist on full control freedom especially during take off and landing.

does the trick

  • By Larry from Missouri City TX USA on Tuesday, October 23, 2012
  • Pros: highly recomend
  • Cons: more adjustibility on straps
  • Review: I used my new kneeboard for the first time 2 days ago. It did the trick. I was able to keep and have the info that i needed during my vfr flight at my finger tips. Not having to reach to the other seat or behind me for maps and notes made concentrating on where I was headed and other planes that might be in my area a lot easier.

Pretty good for the money

  • By A Customer from Oceanside CA USA on Friday, October 12, 2018
  • Pros: good value
  • Cons: Not really any so far
  • Review: I thought it was right on the money. It works. I mean it's a knee board. There is not a whole lot to the physics of it, but What is there works well for the purpose.

    I like all the stuff printed on there. It is the stuff that is hard to remember once you are not a student any longer.

Does what it's supposed to

  • By Brian from Tampa FL USA on Wednesday, December 29, 2010
  • Pros: Informative reference chart, sturdy backboard, sturdy notepad/chart clamp, sturdy velcro
  • Cons: Pen holder is a bit too small,
  • Review: Product performs how it looks. Aluminum back is sturdy, lots of great info printed on the aluminum back including phonetic alphabet, VFR cruising altitudes, VFR cloud clearance reqs, UTC time conversion, light gun signals, VFR common radio freqs, special equipment suffixes, and a sample faa flight plan. Clamp is sturdy and will hold a notebook firmly in place, velcro strap is sturdy and sits snugly without being uncomfortable. For the negatives, I would agree with what other people on here said about the pen holder being too small, though you can fit a pen into it, it's pretty difficult to do so with one hand (as is often the case). But if you get a skinny pen or a pencil it should be fine, also it may stretch over time, but doubtful because it's just a stitched loop coming from the same elastic leg band.

Does the job!

  • By A Customer from Milwaukee WI USA on Monday, March 21, 2011
  • Pros: Aluminum, pencil holder, reference chart
  • Cons: Could use two straps for more stability...
  • Review: Nothing stellar or amazing, just a classic kneeboard. Reference chart is helpful if you need it, otherwise it serves its function to keep your docs right where you need them; nothing more, nothing less.

Overall Good Design, but attachment to Knee Could be Improved

  • By Robert W from Guntersville AL USA on Tuesday, June 01, 2010
  • Pros: Good size and able to hold all necessary flight data
  • Cons: awakward to install and uninstall.
  • Review: The knee board is used on every flight. It is a handly way of having all flight details including check list readily available. My only complaint is with the attachment method. It would help if two attachment straps were permanently attached to simplify attachment to the knee.

Great BUT !!

  • By K9-11 from Reston VA on Friday, January 29, 2010
  • Pros: Information on it
  • Cons: Strap to loose, slippery, practical but not ideal for use in small Helicopters
  • Review: Great Product, but not for use in small helicopters. The strap is too limited and the knee board gets in the way of the cyclic. Use the 9G kneeboard instead, much more practical for helicopters

Works well but shipping costs outside USA - ouch!

  • By A Customer from montreal QC Canada on Monday, October 10, 2011
  • Review: Works as advertised. Ok the pen holder is small but I simply use a relatively thin pen, and it holds the pen in place nicely so the pen does not fall easily.

    The only problem was the shipping cost to Canada which is about twice the cost of the kneeboard Ouch!.

Just about right for a kneeboard

  • By Mark from Milwaukee WI USA on Wednesday, September 23, 2009
  • Pros: Size doesn't interfere with the stick. Wide strap holds well.
  • Cons: Velcro pad needs to be longer to fit tightly
  • Review: Suitable size that doesn't interfere with the stick. I like the wide strap. Velcro strip needs to be longer to fasten snug to my thigh. It was easy to double up the strap to fit, though. This board replaces the ASA VFR kneeboard that I lost. The old board strapped snugly on me, but may have strapped too tight for larger pilots. The strap was modified since I last purchased this board. Information printed on the board is legible.

Good deal, but minor adjustment needed

  • By Mike from Cheshire CT USA on Sunday, August 28, 2016
  • Pros: good value
  • Cons: doesn't fit snugly unless more velcro is added
  • Review: Good value for the price and the right way to start using a kneeboard.

    However, the leg fastening strap comes with a bit too little velcro, which doesn't provide a tight fit unless your thighs are pretty big. Solution: We added a 3.5-inch strip of velcro (both the hook and the loop halves) with adhesive backing to the ends of the strap. Works great now. Even Olive Oyl could keep it on her leg.

Basic pad, looooose strap

  • By Dustoff, student pilot from Great Falls VA USA on Wednesday, September 23, 2015
  • Pros: Simple note pad holder, strong clip
  • Cons: Very loose strap unless you have thighs like the Terminator
  • Review: This does what it says. It is a knee pad. The clip is strong enough to hold a pad, folded maps etc.

    Like others have said the strap is very loose and I typically tie a knot to hold it in place. They should've designed it better.

    In hindsight since I am going to buy an iPad for Foreflight I should've bought a tablet holder.

  • Pros: Good info on board, tight clasp

Simple and Effective but needs a little pre-flight inspection.

  • By Aviator from PA. on Saturday, April 12, 2008
  • Pros: simple, functional, comfortable and light weight.
  • Cons: Poor finishing of metal edges will scratch interior, snag clothes.
  • Review: This is simple product that works, it's easy and quick to deploy and remove. Nicely Printed information can be helpful but mine was scratched in many places and looked a bit scruffy, despite adaquate shipping protection. The penholder is perfect for a backup, but is too fiddly for primary use. There is no excuse for the sharp edges, it's an absolute must that you sand these down with very fine sand paper otherwise you'll scratch your interior or snag your clothes on them constantly - once you've done that, no other complaints.

  • By Todd from Pittsburgh PA USA on Tuesday, January 18, 2011
