Does anyone own a zuluboard kneeboard and if so, how do you like it?
Thanks
in advance!

Do you see a lot of professional pilots using kneeboards? Does your
instructor use one?

well, if he were my student he could answer "yes" to the your second question.


IMHO any kneeboard is worse than no kneeboard. The kneeboard is a solution
in search of a problem.

i use a small (5 x 8) kneeboard. it keeps my small notepad handy and
allows me to scribble notes with one hand -- i don't have to fish for the
pad, and i don't have to hold it in place when i write.


I write notes on a small spiral notepad, preferably with a pen. Everything
else goes into a little bag or a pocket where I can reach it when I need it.
There is absolutely no need to have everything spread out in front of you
all of the time. A simple clipboard is sufficient for your cross country
navigation log.

here i would agree -- i don't have everything spread out in front of me.
but i do like having my notepad secured.


As Rod Machado points out, a pilot still needs a few kneeboards for the
kneeboard clapping dances we do during our secret rituals in abandoned
hangars at night. These should be large and heavy and hard so as to make the
maximum clapping noise.

do you have an aresti diagram of the "kneeboard clapping dance"? please
share it. :-) :-)
