Recommended Kneeboards

Simple as it sounds, a kneeboard is an invaluable tool. From the beginning of the flight when you need to record the current weather information, clearances from the tower or unexpected directions from ATC during your flight, the simple kneeboard makes it easy to stay ahead of the airplane.

In addition, they have nice little quick-reference information printed on them for those important facts pilots don’t necessarily use every day (e.g. light gun signals).

While many people will want to embrace an EFB immediately because of the convenience, it will benefit new pilots to wait and just use pen and paper for their initial private pilot certificate. The EFB can make it too easy. A lot of the basics are not learned well when the EFB does all the work and it will hurt new pilots when taking the written and practical test.
