MyGoFlight, which provides iPad and tablet gear for pilots, is debuting its Connected Flight concept and product line for helicopters at Heli Expo 2015. The company’s Connected Flight mounts, kneeboards, screen protectors and other accessories make using an iPad in the cockpit safer, easier and more secure, according to the company.

Additionally, the Denver-based company’s flight bags are designed to protect the iPad or tablet, while providing efficient storage for MyGoFlight Connected Flight products. When paired with an ADS-B Receiver, an aviation app with moving-map, and satellite voice/text communication, the products create Connected Flight capability.

 “The iPad is increasingly being used by helicopter pilots, yet the cockpit was not designed with the device in mind,” said Charles Schneider, MyGoFlight CEO. “Our products solve many of the challenges of how and where to mount the device, and how you can see and operate the screen in such a bright and vibrant environment.”

Here at the show, MyGoFlight (Booth 4106) is hosting two “iPad Takes Flight!–The Connected Flight Edition” seminars (today, 3:30p, Room 320E; Wednesday March 4, 10 a.m., Room 320C) to explain and demonstrate the Connected Flight concept. Seminar participants are requested to bring their iPads with charts loaded to follow the real world scenarios the company will present.
