TIET Introduces 737 MyClipboard For The Popular Tablet
Devices
In support of the industry wide change to paperless cockpits,
Thousand Oaks-based product developer TIET said Monday that it has
designed a product to allow pilots to easily use the iPad on the
flight deck of the Boeing 737... by having the yoke clipboard
hold the device. The clipboard puts the iPad in the line of site of
the pilot, facilitating preflight access to manuals and real time
weather.
The MyClipboard, designed by an airline pilot, secures the iPad
leaving the pilot’s hands free for other duties. Clips attach
in the portrait mode, and the articulating yoke clipboard positions
the iPad for optimal viewing. Without adding an awkward case or
clamps to the iPad or yoke, the rubberized clips on the iPad itself
provide a 100% secure grip so pilots have no concern about their
tablet falling or interfering with the controls. The MyClipboard
combines strength with aesthetics so that when the flight is over
the MyClip could either be instantly removed from the iPad or left
in place, perhaps for a friendly debrief at the coffee shop.
"The aviation world is quickly seeing the utility of the iPad as an
electronic kitbag, but the accessories out there are big and bulky
and fail to take advantage of the elegance of the iPad design,"
said Jim Peters V.P. of Product Development. "Our product retains
the beauty of Apple’s design while increasing the flexibility
of use — something no other product offers.”
MyClipboard is designed to work with iPad and iPad2, Galaxy Tab and
XOOM, and positions the devices so as not to obstruct view of
instruments. It fits over most skins and some holders, including
the iPad2 Smart Cover, and its open design keeps the tablet device
cool in even the warmest cockpits.
The MSRP for the MyClipboard is $38.95.
