    Using the Kneeboard


    Your best source for in-flight information
    Real-world pilots need to refer to lots of information while they fly, and most put
    everything they need at their fingertips: on a kneeboard, a sort of clipboard that
    straps to the pilot's knee. In Flight Simulator, you don't need to sort through piles
    of paper. Everything you need is assembled for you on an electronic kneeboard
    that is accessible as you fly.
    The Flight Simulator kneeboard includes seven pages:
