Zuluboard Kneeboard

A well thought-out kneeboard is probably the cheapest contribution to safety in your cockpit. Highest quality, durability and perfect features for cockpit management are the marks of the Zuluboard cockpit organizer - a kneeboard designed by pilots for pilots. The placement of pockets and stylish materials make the hand-made Zuluboard from the US manufacturer Zuluworks unique. An aluminum clipboard, the Zulupad flight planning form, the Zulucard memos with vital information and the many pockets help organizing your cockpit.

Currently, only the standard version is available. Thanks for your understanding.

We offer the Zuluboard in two versions. Both are made of robust black ballistic nylon. The standard model has a normal clipboard; the deluxe model features an extra storage compartment underneath the clipboard. Please note that prices vary with version and are displayed accordingly after selection. The Zuluboards are a perfect match for the Gazelle Pilot Bag from the same manufacturer.

Even closed the Zuluboard looks great. When you open it, three parts become visible: the small zippered pocket on one side, the writing pad in the middle and the big pockets on the other side. The strap of the Zuluboard is fixed to all for corners for secure fit to your leg.

The Zulupad

The double-sided Zulupad has all fields needed for a flight plan, weather briefing and a flight progress form including an area for drawing a sketch of the airfield you are going to. The print on the backside is upside-down, so that flipping the sheet over will let you read everything easily. While the labels are in English and the forms are geared towards flying in the US, they are very handy for flying in Europe, too. Included is a pad with 50 sheets, additional Zulupads can be ordered here. Following are details views of the Zulupad (Click picture for larger version):
