AppStrap® iPad® Air Kneeboard – Secure Pilot Mount with Gel Case
Keep your iPad Air® secure and accessible during flight with the AppStrap® iPad Air Kneeboard. This kneeboard combines a form-fitting gel case with a Velcro® strap system, allowing pilots to quickly reposition, stow, or share their tablet mid-flight—without switching to a cockpit-specific case.
Form-Fitting Gel Case: Secure, protective case with Velcro® strip for attachment.
Adjustable Leg Strap: Hand-sewn strap with integrated pen holder ensures a comfortable fit.
Tilt Pad Included: Enhances viewing angles, glare reduction, and device stability in flight.
Low Profile Design: Non-intrusive, ideal for all cockpit types—especially aerobatic and rotorcraft.
Made in the USA: Crafted with durability and pilot-tested performance in mind.
This model is designed for the iPad Air® (1st and 2nd generation) and features the original AppStrap® architecture with a full gel skin instead of clips. The Velcro®-fastening system allows seamless switching between portrait and landscape orientation and easy removal when needed.
