When in the cruise, it's nice to be able to use your iPad or EFB (Electronic Flight Bag) by looking straight ahead and without having to hold it. This holder fits perfectly around a Boeing control column. Disclaimer - this is clearly not an airline or manufacturer approved device.

I found that I was carrying so many cables in my flight bag that it would quickly become disorganised, tangled and messy. I bought this Cable Organiser which has probably been the best addition to my flight bag that I’ve bought. It keeps your cables neat and tidy and also has plenty of room to store a portable power bank and plug adaptor.

I found this case to be a really good purchase for a number of reasons. Firstly, it's cheap! Secondly, when you aren’t using your iPad, the folding cover protects your IPad’s screen which is very handy when it’s in your flight bag. Thirdly, being able to ‘stand the iPad up’ using the stand at the back of the case allows you to brief from it effectively, rather than standing over it. It’s also very helpful when down route if you want to watch something on your device.

It’s quite pricey, but this really did transform my iPad. I hadn’t appreciated the functionality of a trackpad and keyboard coupled with an iPad, which it makes it more akin to a laptop. There are cheaper versions available, but they are typically Bluetooth devices which don’t work quite as well. This Logitech version is very similar to the actual Apple version (£319), but quite a bit cheaper. When not in use, the keyboard is detachable and can be reattached with the facing inwards (and therefore hidden) at the back of the iPad. This allows it to fit onto an iPad mount on the flight deck without the keyboard being exposed. It has an extremely effective back stand that allows the iPad to be stood up at any angle. It’s brilliant for doing admin down route.
