Yoke mount for an iPad mini

Recommended Posts

Did you really want to know?

or is this a rhetorical question..?

Like LOP vs. ROP...

There is no real answer... just preferences...

I really want to know. There are a bunch out there and I figure after getting some replies one will stand out.

It’s a very common question...

Stand by for the very common answers to roll in...

When it comes to Minis... often one is used as a second iPad in the cockpit... and may get mounted on the windshield in front of the SIC station...

I just got a cheap flexible clear ipad mini cover I leave attached to the yoke by a velcro sticker. Cost about $6 and works well.  Just quickly take your ipad mini out of your everyday cover and pop it in out of the yoke case.

One word of caution on yoke mounts and autopilots. It is purely a theory but I was having fits with my A/P disengaging in relatively light turbulence when I had my iPad mounted to the yoke (no it wasn't hitting the disconnect button :) ). I removed it and have since not had the issue. Again, theory but I wonder if the additional weight on the yoke puts additional burden on the trim servo.

I bought one that was universal fit for about $60 and I never could get it to tighten up enough to stay put and sent it back. I want to buy another one but it'll be specifically for an iPad mini.
