Is that like a nightstand? :-))
Who needs a kneeboard when you have a table built into the cockpit!

Well, maybe table was the wrong choice of words but we do have several nice
flat surfaces to build our nest upon ... But in any case, in the thousands
of hours I flew GA, I never bothered with the kneeboard. Some students of
mine would come for their lessons with very elaborate contraptions which
they would attach to themselves for the purposes of organization, however in
most cases, they'd just end up getting entangled in headset wires, or worse,
restrict full movement of the yoke. In terms of cockpit organization, I
still maintain that less is more. It is amazing how effectively simple a
navigation chart, pen and small pad of paper can be.

Unfortunately, I'm just not a poster boy for Sporty's Pilot Shop. I did
however have one instrument student who was Hal Shever's wet dream. This
guy would come to his lessons with two full duffel bags just full of
Sporty's sh** (I'm not exaggerating). I told him that the first time any of
his crap got entangled with the flight controls, it was all staying on the
ground from that point on. I think we made it to the runup area before the
gaggle of wires got hold of the yoke. From that point on, he was allowed
his charts, a pad of paper no bigger than the complimentary paper found in a
hotel room, and a pen.
