Reviewer - Lon Location - Santa Monica, CA Date - 2-8-2012 Pilot Rating - Student Overall  Durability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes |  Better than kneeboard, for me Has two clips. I use one for my chart and checklists and the other for a notepad. It stays on my lap, without being fastened to my leg. ConsA pen holder would have been useful, but I attached a lanyard to the board and fastened a pen at the end of a lanyard, so even if the pen unclips itself from the board, it doesn't fall on the floor or get lost. General CommentsI had been using a small kneeboard -- one that would be necessary for a plane with a between-the-legs control stick. But I'm training in a Cessna 172, so a small kneeboard isn't necessary, and wasn't big enough for everything I want in front of me while I'm flying. My instructor recommended this, and it works well, even without being attached to me in any way. |

Date - 3-19-2011 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | I guess the only good thing I can say is that it is durable. ConsWay too bulky. It does not stay well on top of your lap. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 10-13-2010 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | A useful tool. has good info on the placard, versatile. ConsA bit flimsy and expensive for what it was. Not as large as expected. General Comments Everyone who leaves the pattern needs some sort of clipboard to hold the various charts, papers, manuals, notes, etc, that flying out of sight of home base requires. If you are alone, it all goes in the right seat and we hope the wind does not blow it down to the tailcone, but if you have a co-pilot, you need better way to get organized. A folding flight desk is a bit more useful than a clipboard, and it has a certain "cool factor," right? |
Date - 6-14-2010 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Fits on lap nicely and doesn't move. Cons Needs to have a pencil holder on one of the clips. ( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 5-14-2010 Rating - Sport OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended No | Strong, sturdy and well made. ConsThe design leaves my check lists and paperwork exposed on both sides. General CommentsShould have been built to close inwards (reverse the direction of the hinges) to create an environment that would provide more protection for my papers. |

Date - 4-22-2009 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I find this very useful in the cockpit. The foam strips on the back keep it from sliding around. It quickly folds up, and slips right into my flight bag. Cons( No Cons Listed From Reviewer ) General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 4-8-2009 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Holds a lot of stuff in a compact manner. Easy to get to what you need. ConsCan be awkward to keep balanced on lap while flying with a yoke. (Or is my flight instructor just torturing me by making me keep this on my lap during the entire lesson?) General CommentsGood product. This is somebody's really good idea, manufactured. |
Date - 4-2-2009 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | This is a great product. I purchased the IFR version and bought another VFR placard for the other side. One clipboard for all.

Date - 12-29-2008 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Small and Durable. Easy to use ConsWould be nice to maybe have some kinda leg strap on it. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 12-3-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Well made, aluminum and sturdy. ConsToo small to hold a chart effectively. General Comments( No General Comments Listed From Reviewer ) |
Date - 9-8-2008 Rating - Private OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Very sturdy, strong clamps, nice VFR reference information sticker, cooler than those that strap around the leg. ConsA little bulky for what it is. No easy place to keep/store pens. Gets in the way of medium-to-large aileron deflections since it spans your legs General CommentsI've tried various flight desks and haven't been totally sold on any of them. While flying solo I prefer this desk as I can quickly slide it to/from the vacation right seat during t/o and landing. During those phases I find it gets in the way of larger roll deflections of the yoke. For those times, if I know I'm going to be writing a lot or checking flight plans I prefer the strap-on type. But when just cruising around this is much cooler on the legs and quicker to move around. |
Date - 7-31-2008 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | Great value for the cost. Light-weight. Foam strips on back do a great job of curtailing sliding. ConsNo pencil holder, so I improvised by wedging the pencil in the right clip. Works just fine. General CommentsSimple and easy. I keep my sectional on the left and nav log on the right. The foam on the back kept it from sliding around on my lap. Very satisfied and very glad that I purchased it! |
Date - 7-2-2008 Rating - Student OverallDurability Reliability Value Usability Expected Recommended Yes | I've only used this on one cross-country so far, but it has proven to be very helpful. I have my flight log on the right and chart on the left; perfect size. Stays well just sitting on your legs, no straps needed.
