Do you use iPad in flight?
Where do you mount it?
If you use your iPad on a kneeboard, how do you wear it so it does not get in the way of your control stick?
Thanks in advance,
Robin

I have only used it in the back seat.
There does not seem to be a good
solution for using something so big
in the front.
I am able to use my IPhone in the front
on my soft kneeboard with no problem
and it does everything the IPad does
only it is smaller. Maybe soon there will be
a 7" IPad.

Robin,
There are flexible iPhone holders with an articulating arm. These can be attached to the instrument panel and will hold a iPhone vertically or horizontally in front of you. This arrangement, with the iPhone ForeFlight Mobile app provides a wealth of information, comparable to my Garmin 496... and in some ways even better.
There are iPad holders that wrap around your leg, allowing you to use the iPad like a big electronic kneeboard. But for the kind of flying that we do in the CJ and Yak, this approach, which requires that you be head down, seems to me to be less than optimal.
Amazing times we live in!

I used mine the other day. It strapped to my leg. Can't see it in the sunlight.
It is very large.

I have a iPad knee board but found it gets in the way if on my right knee and fairly useless on the left. Ended up folding it up and putting in the flight bag and using my iPhone running the fore flight program. That was in the yak.

Robin, et. al.,
I have the iPad with the Sporty's iPad kneeboard (tho' there are dozens on the market to choose from) and use the Dual Electronics bluetooth GPS receiver. This combined with the ForeFlight app are indispensible tools for cross country flying. The bluetooth GPS replaces the need for a dedicated and much more expensive hand held GPS. ForeFlight is as powerful as any flight software I have seen, is intuitive, and the subscription is very reasonable.
Yes, it is somewhat large in a CJ or Yak cockpit, but I find it very useful for cross country flying.
Hope this helps,
Barry
