Will The iPad Change GA Cockpits?

The implications for iPad usage in GA aircraft are HUGE. The day it launched in the USA I ventured out to the local Apple store to try one out.

While I was there I decided to give ForeFlight Mobile 3 HD a play and admit that single application was the make or break decision for me. Once I saw how elegant ForeFlight Mobile was, I knew I had to have an iPad.

And don’t worry because we’ll be making plenty of video reviews for iPad and it’s aviation super powers.

The Cheap DIY iPad EFB Kneeboard Alternative

Yesterday I shared with you how one particular aviator was using his iPad in the cockpit, and today I’m going to show you how another creative flyer made his own iPad kneeboard for cheap.

This creative flyer decided that paying $150+ for an iPad aviation kneeboard seemed a bit out of whack for his purposes and figured he could probably make something himself.

With a little creativity and a few low cost items, I share with you: Building Your Own iPad 3G EFB Kneeboard.
