Destination Departure VFR Pilot Kneeboard - Aviation Kneeboard with Strap, Pen Holder - Compact Aluminium Knee Boards - Pilot Essentials and Flight Simulator Accessories (5.5 x 8 Inch)

I started working on my private pilots license a few months ago, and had contemplated getting a knee board for a while and finally pulled the trigger on this one. For anyone that has put a headset on and listened to the tower, be it GTC or ATC, at least one time knows that they can tend to spit out information very quickly, at times, making it difficult to remember what was said. You can add a simple, small notepad and pencil on this knee board and quickly write down the information given such as a heading, what runway you’re supposed to cross over, taxiway, etc. pretty much anything you can write down lol making it substantially easier to repeat back to the tower. I also like the fact that the knee board has information directly, applied to it, that you can reference such as glideslope information pertaining to altitude/sectors to fly in and more. Again working on my private pace license and also cleaning aircraft for customers I cannot tell you how many times I’ve seen random pieces of paper crumbled up with Different frequencies, written down, headings, etc. that somebody writes down on whatever they can find. With the simple set up, you’re able to hear the command, write it down, then repeat it back to the tower or whomever it is, you are speaking with and reference back to it if need be. The Elastic and Velcro appear to be very solid with plenty of give, yet enough elasticity to adjust it so that it fits and stays tight right where you put it. It also looks sharp and is well made. I’m sure this review is overkill. I just wanted to make sure that people had a good overall review. I hope this helps and happy, safe flying!

Good product

Bought this for starting out piloting. Works great for holding my airport diagrams, ATIS sheet, checklists, and other information. The included pen clip is very useful and the strap is nice and wide so it doesn’t cut into your leg.

Everything good

That's what I need, thx. very convenient.

Exactly what I needed

So, I was told by my CFI to buy one of these and this was the first thing that popped up on the list when I searched “knee board”. Upon its arrival there was not a strap in the package, however, the seller was nice enough to send a second one free and allow me to keep the mistake package. Trust that if something were to go wrong with your order that your problem will be dealt with. The product itself is pretty sturdy, I bought a 12 pack of 50 page notebooks from Amazon Basics to take ATIS/AWOS results down for preflight and am using an erasable pen which fits snuggly into the pen holder. I recommend this to anyone just starting out as this is relatively inexpensive and is durable enough to last you years.

Just what I needed. My other ones were to big. Nice and small. This will fit the light sport nicely. Might get another one.

Nice

Very handy.

Excelente producto

A few flights into my PPL and got this cause I suck at radios. Hopefully not too many "Tower, say again" in my future lol. The board is sturdy and the leg strap works.
