Kneeboards NavComm IFR

No matter how much we have on board GPS devices, we should always carry a good map and something to write.

Experienced pilots know very well the pros of this equipment, so
try in a few sentences to encourage those of you who are just starting to aviation.

During the practical course, and especially in the early days of flying is a practical application notes, prepared on the ground of course, and we can say that sometimes a necessity. It is also often happens that something must be noted in the aircraft repair plan or carry out some necessary calculations during the flight. Cockpits where pilots are trained not among the most spacious places, so they are moves that can be done in the cabin is limited. In this situation, the correct spatial organization around us essential to our safety and comfort of the flight. Deficiencies in this area are a luxury that particular starting pilots definitely can not afford.
Proper knee pads can solve most of the above shortcomings and problems. Caps produced by Navcom is definitely the best.

It is constructed of two basic parts - a soft, rozkládaného bushings, and aluminum klipbordu. Both components are designed so that it could be used together or totally independently - that is packaged with additional rubber tape, which allows independent use klipbordu.

Soft part is a rectangle 500 mm wide and 300mm tall (disassembled) made of coarse material. Composite knee pads is about 200 mm wide (depending on content). Inside the housing is divided into 3 parts - the middle, sewn from three-quarters of film to a transparent bag with a hole from the top, and two wings. True, also consists sheets sewn pocket with side opening. Left, sewn cloth has two pockets - large and small sewn inside from the outside. In addition, the left wing sewn in two thirds of its height rubber strip, which is another provision for longer items that we would like to hide. Knee pads are attached to the thigh by two pieces of rubber bands with a total length of 620 mm. Velcro tape sewn to pryžovému allow you to customize its length due to thigh circumference. To that extent, perhaps regulation between 600-350 mm. Comfortable knee pads sticking to the thigh consists of three soft pads. Their thickness was selected with regard to the oval profile of the substrate, thereby preventing excessive flexing knee pads at the point where touching thighs.

The individual parts are four cases (two from each side) elastic loops for pens. Dimensions of the various parts of the case are such as to not interfere with the flights and were large enough for maps, notes and navigation devices.
The hard part, the klipbord comprises an aluminum plate measuring 165 x 265 mm with longitudinal slots for clamping the rubber band and spring clip riveted on top of the plate. The printing is klipbordu containing, among other model aircraft plans, aircraft ruler to calculate the wind, the basic transponder codes, and new broadcast center frequency of FIS. All information and descriptions are printed bilingually - in Polish and English, which is undoubtedly an educational value. Bundled rubber band allowing the klipbordu independently of soft parts (eg, on the other leg), and tape loops sewn to allow placement of two pens.
In addition to ergonomics offered is also very aesthetically caps processed. It is made from high quality material in black and blue, which is characteristic for products Navcom and belongs to the current fashion trends in aviation.
