Charles Schneider, an active pilot and fan of in-flight gadgets, has developed MyGoFlight into a resource for everything pilots need to mount and safely use devices such as Apple and Android smartphones and tablets in many different types of cockpits. The MyGoFlight booth (1774) is a candy store for gadget-lovers, with everything from robust and finely crafted flight bags to mobile device accessories and products from other manufacturers such as action cameras, XM weather receivers and more.

Some of the MyGoFlight’s useful products for pilots include:

MGF Tracker ($12.99). A baggage tag with a unique ID code that can help recover a lost bag. The tag must be registered with MyGoFlight, then if the bag is found and reported, it can be recovered through the airline industry’s baggage-tracking system.	Rapid Charger Dual Micro ($29.99). This standard cigarette-lighter-style charger works with 14- or 28-volt electrical systems and includes dual 2.4-amp USB ports. The charger is shielded to prevent interference with avionics.	Solar Assist Battery ($79.99). A 10,000 mAh backup battery with solar-assist panel that speeds up charging and helps the battery maintain its charge longer. Includes a built-in LED flashlight, dual USB charging ports (2 amp and 1 amp), battery life indicator and solar charging indicator.	90-degree Lightning Cable ($24.99). This 3-foot cable, made by Bad Elf, solves the tight-space problem with a 90-degree charger cable fitting, which moves the cable to the back of the device. A thicker wire gauge helps make the cable last longer, and the cable is Apple certified.	Mount kits for iPads ($198 and up). MyGoFlight offers a variety of iPad mounting systems, using a Universal Sport Cradle that attaches to a Sport Adapter for 360 rotation. Mounting kits are available to fit just about any aircraft, from Beechcraft to Boeings. A rail-mount attaches to sun-share monorail systems used in some business jets.
